I am an American. I have found God yet have not heard an answer that i belief is correct about Jesus weeping yet yours is the best I've come across. I believe he wept for Lazarus losing his way after being taught. He said prior people who walk in darkness lose there way. I believe Lazarus was morally dead when Jesus came back to bring him back from that. This would explain to me that he was sad because the word had not taken root so he wept. His praying for 2 days would also give time for those around Lazarus To help him. When he called him out Lazarus was bound hand and foot. It's not common practice to do that to a dead man is it? God bless

The reason why Jesus wept was because after three days of Lazarus death. He was already in Paradise rejoicing having fun and God had to call him back to this sinful painful world made Him wept because he loved Lazarus so much .
