{{further|Raising of Lazarus}}
This verse occurs in John's narrative of the death of [[Lazarus of Bethany]], a follower of [[Jesus]]. Lazarus's sisters—[[Mary of Bethany|Mary]] and [[Martha]]—sent word to Jesus of their brother's illness and impending death, but Jesus arrived four days after Lazarus died. Jesus, after talking to the grieving sisters and seeing Lazarus's friends weeping, was deeply troubled and moved. After asking where Lazarus had been laid and being invited to come see him, Jesus wept. He then went to the tomb and told the people to remove the stone covering it, [[prayed]] aloud to his [[God the Father#Christianity|Father]], and ordered Lazarus to come out, resurrected.<ref name="bible"/>

The [[Gospel of Luke]] also records that Jesus wept as he entered [[Jerusalem]] before his trial and [[Crucifixion of Jesus|death]], anticipating the [[Second Temple#Destruction|destruction of the Temple]].<ref>{{bibleverse|Luke|19:41}}</ref>
