Context of John 11:36

34“Where have you put him?” he asked. “Lord,” they told him, “come and see.” 35Jesus wept. So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!” 37But some of them said, “Couldn’t he who opened the blind man’s eyes also have kept this man from dying?” 38Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 33-46Verses 33-46 Christ's tender sympathy with these afflicted friends, appeared by the troubles of his spirit.

This act prepared him for his coming…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 33-3833-38. 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!
