Jesus wept. [View all]

This was in the RCC gospel today, and perhaps in other Churches (I have no idea). It concerns the story of Lazarus (John 11:35). I didn't know it until today, but this tiny verse (2 words) has been discussed and debated for years (wikipedia has an article dedicated to it). Some say it shows the true humanity of Jesus, while to others it is an insignificant observation. But the debate is what makes the Bible so fascinating to me.
