Why did Jesus weep,?

Question

when he was on the cross?

Answer 1

Not sure if He did....I know He did when Lazarus was pronounced dead. He was 100% man and his heart was touched.

But...he was also 100% God, so He raised him fom death.

Answer 2

Jesus did not weep on the cross, He gave His life freely for mankind. He wept in the garden of Gethaseme, but still He did the will of His Father.

Answer 3

Jesus did not "weep' on the cross. He wept as he entered Jerusalem the prior Sunday. He wept over Jerusalem because He new that 40 years later the "City of God" would be destroyed ,as He predicted a few days later in the Olivet Discourse.

Answer 4

Jesus did not "weep" on the cross, he wept at the tomb of His friend Lazarus. He wept there, not because He was saddened at the loss, for He knew He would raise Lazarus from the dead. Jesus wept at that tomb because He was saddened at the unbelief of His people. Jesus "cried out" on the cross -not the same thing as wept- and said" My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" There were 2 reasons for crying out these words. 1. Since Jesus, who knew no sin, was literally being made sin for us -2Cor.5:21- and since God, His eternal Father, can't look at sin then God had to literally look away from His own Son. The eternal bond between God the Father and God the Son had been temporarily severed on our behalf. 2. Jesus used these specific words, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?", to draw every ones attention to where they'd first been quoted in Psalm 22. This chapter is very descriptive of the crucifixion and as to what occurs to a person undergoing such punishment. This chapter was also written 100's of years before crucifixion had been invented by the Romans.

Answer 5

Jesus did not weep on the cross but perhap he wept in his heart and cried for justice...

Answer 6

Mark 14:72 And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.

Jesus knew that Peter would deny Him three times after Jesus was arrested. This was very hurtful to Jesus. He did have realy emotions and feelings just as we do.

He felt every bit of the beating He endured, every piece of flesh that was torn from His beaten body, every nail that was driven into His wrists and feet. And felt the rejection of His people even though they saw who He was first hand. Rejection and dissapointment hurts no matter who is on the recieving end of it.

But most importantly.... Jesus forgave everyone before He died. Praise the Lord.

I don't think the Bible says that He did. He wept when Lazarus had died, but I don't remember anything about Him weeping on the cross.

Answer 9

He didn't weep on the cross, He wept when Lazarus was dead and the unbelief of Mary and Martha.

Answer 10

Jesus wept when Lazarus died.....showing His humanity during the loss of a loved one.

Answer 11

if HE did perhaps HE saw the frustration and uselessness of it all can you imagine how much torture and anguish HE went through and then to ( of course I'm guess here ) to get a quick glimpse of the future and realize perhaps ( with a humongous sigh of despair )
" what is the use as these humans never learned anything. "
