It depends upon which language you're reading.
Most answerers are citing John 11:35, "Jesus wept." However, the NT was originally written in Greek. When we examine the original Greek text, the shortest verse is actually 1 Thes. 5:16 ("rejoice always,") which contains fewer letters than the Greek version of John 11:35.
Peace.

John 11:35 says simply, "Jesus wept". He was saddened by the death of His friend, Lazarus.

"Jesus wept." I believe is the shortest. I cannot remember where the book or verse though...
Sorry.

"Jesus wept." Somewhere in the gosel according to John which, of course, was not written by John but by a bunch of forgers.

Honestly, I think it's "Jesus wept". And I think it's in one of the books of the apostles.
