John 11:36

God's love

34 “Where have you put him?” He asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they answered.

35 Jesus wept.

Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him!”

37 But some of them asked, “Could not this man who opened the eyes of the blind also have kept Lazarus from dying?”

38 Jesus, once again deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.
