SIL Translator’s Notes on John 11:35

11:35

Jesus wept: This sentence indicates that Jesus cried and produced tears. The Greek word here that the Berean Standard Bible translates as wept is not the same one used in 11:33. It does not refer to loud wailing. Here are other ways to translate this sentence:

Jesus started crying (Contemporary English Version)
-or-
Jesus cried. (New Century Version)
-or-
Jesus cried with tears.
