Phrase: Jesus wept! (a common expletive when something goes wrong). From the Bible - John 11:35. The phrase occurs on the death of Lazarus, a friend of Jesus. Lazarus' sisters Mary and Martha sent word to Jesus of their brother's condition. Jesus purposely arrived late in order to have his disciples learn a lesson concerning the power of God over death. Jesus, seeing her and the Jews weeping, was grieved by their lack of faith and wept in front of Lazarus' tomb. He then ordered the people to remove the stone covering his tomb, prayed aloud to God (for the benefit of the people), and ordered Lazarus to come out. The resurrection of Lazarus and subsequent growth in the number of Jewish followers of Jesus' teachings came to the attention of the Jewish priests. According to the Gospel of John, this, along with fear of retribution from the Romans, led to the Jewish leadership's decision to turn Jesus over to Pontius Pilate for execution (John 11:45-53, 18:31). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_wept
