Contextual Overview

33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, was indignant in the spirit, and troubled himself, 34 and said - Where have ye laid him? They say unto him - Lord! come and see. 35 Jesus wept. 36 The Jews, therefore, were saying - See! how tenderly he loved him! 37 But, some from among them, said - Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that, this one also, should not have died? 38 Jesus, therefore, again, being indignant within himself, cometh unto the tomb. Now it was a cave, and, a stone, was lying thereon. 39 Jesus, saith, Take ye away the stone! Martha, the sister of the deceased, saith unto him - Lord! by this time, he stinketh, for it is, four days. 40 Jesus saith unto her - Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldst believe, thou shouldst see the glory of God? 41 So they took away the stone. And, Jesus, lifted up his eyes on high, and said - Father! I thank thee, thou didst hear me: 42 I, indeed, knew that, always, unto me, thou dost hearken; but, for the sake of the multitude standing around, I spake, - that they might believe that, thou, didst send me forth.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

John 1:39, John 20:2, Matthew 28:6, Mark 15:47, Mark 16:6

Reciprocal: Judges 10:16 - his soul

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And said, where have ye laid him?.... This he might say as man, though he, as the omniscient God, knew where he was laid; and that it might appear there was no juggle and contrivance between him, and the relations of the deceased; and to raise some expectation of what he intended to do; and to draw the Jews thither, that they might be witnesses of the miracle he was about to work.

They say unto him; That is, Martha and Mary,

Lord, come and see; it being but a little way off.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Where have ye laid him? - Jesus spoke as a man. In all this transaction he manifested the deep sympathies of a man; and though he who could raise the dead man up could also know where he was, yet he chose to lead them to the grave by inducing them to point the way, and hence, he asked this question.
