Consider the tone of these words:
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled.
(groaning in spirit signifies anger and wrath. Why is he pissed? Does it have something to do with the pretensious entourage? If these were close family friends they would be named and not simply referred to as "the Jews". Other than close family who hangs around a grieving family for four days "weeping" and following them everywhere?)
And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
Jesus wept.
Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
(doesn't this seem a bit gloating? They appear to be more concerned with Jesus's reaction rather than offering him any comfort. Could this be why they have been hanging around so long....waiting for him to show up so they can feel self satisfied in hurting him by killing his friend? When Mafia threatens people...don't they go for the victims loved ones and not the victim himself?)
And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
(Do these words not appear to be mocking and scornful? It seems a very callous remark. Does it not seem to echo the same sentiments when the chief priests and scribes mocked him on the cross? "You can save others but you can't save yourself" and taunting him to come down off the cross,... torture stake ...whatever you want to call it. The antagonizing attitude seems to be the same.)
Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave.
(Again, we see this "groaning" signifying anger. His good friend is dead. His emotions should be grief and sadness. So what is bringing him to anger? )
