What does the Bible say about the tears of Jesus?

Answered in 1 source

The tears of Jesus reveal His genuine humanity, compassion, and the weight of sin and suffering He bore.

The tears of Jesus, recorded in the Gospels, highlight His emotional responses to human suffering and sin. For instance, He wept at the tomb of Lazarus due to His love for him and the sorrow surrounding death, which is the consequence of sin (Romans 6:23). His tears also reflect His deep sympathy for those in disbelief, as seen when He expressed His desire to gather Jerusalem's children as a hen gathers her brood (Luke 13:34). This duality of His nature as both fully God and fully man allows Him to empathize with our pain while also possessing divine authority over all things.
