John 11:38

Ἰησοῦς οὖν πάλιν ἐμβριμώμενος. “Jesus, then, being again deeply moved.” “Quia non accedit Christus ad sepulcrum tanquam otiosus spectator, sed athleta qui se ad certamen instruit, non mirum est si iterum fremat.” Calvin. To refer the renewed emotion to the sayings of the Jews just reported is to take for granted that Jesus heard them, which is most unlikely. The tomb ἦν σπήλαιον … αὐτῷ, “was a cave,” either natural, as that which Abraham bought, Genesis 23:9, or artificial, hewn out of the rock, as our Lord's, Matthew 27:60. λίθος ἐπέκειτο ἐπʼ αὐτῷ, “a stone lay upon it,” i.e., on its mouth to prevent wild animals from entering. The supposed tomb of Lazarus is still shown and is described by several travellers.
