11:28 Yeshua weeps with his close friends

28 After saying this, Marta went and quietly called her sister Miryam (Grk. Maria /Mariam), “The teacher is on his way and he wants to see you.” 29 So Miryam quickly got up and went to find him. 30 At that stage, Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) hadn’t yet come into the village proper, but was still at the edge where Marta had met him. 31 The Yehudi (Jew) people who’d been sitting with Miryam in sympathy there in the house, when they saw her get up quickly and go out, they assumed that she was going to the cemetery to weep there.

32 But when Miryam found Yeshua, she knelt at his feet and said, “Master, if you’d been here my brother wouldn’t have died.”

33 Now when Yeshua saw her weeping there, along with the others that had followed also weeping, he himself was quite affected and groaned inside, 34 but he just asked, “Where has he been laid?”

“Master, come and see,” they replied.

35 Then Yeshua broke down and burst into tears, 36 which made the others comment, “See how much he cared about him.”

37 But some of them mocked, “This is the man who could make a blind man see again, yet how come he wasn’t able to stop this man from dying!”
