Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on John 11:33

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

33-38. When Jesus . . . saw her weeping, and the Jews . . . weeping . . . he groaned in the spirit —the tears of Mary and her friends acting sympathetically upon Jesus, and drawing forth His emotions. What a vivid and beautiful outcoming of His "real" humanity! The word here rendered "groaned" does not mean "sighed" or "grieved," but rather "powerfully checked his emotion"—made a visible effort to restrain those tears which were ready to gush from His eyes. and was troubled —rather, "troubled himself" ( Margin ); referring probably to this visible difficulty of repressing His emotions. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-34" class="com-number"
