Exegesis
What He “saw” is expressed through two coordinated participial scenes: auten klaiousan {αὐτὴν κλαίουσαν | autēn klaíousan} and tous sunelthontas aute Ioudaious klaiontas {τοὺς συνελθόντας αὐτῇ Ἰουδαίους κλαίοντας | toús synelthóntas autēi Ioudaíous klaíontas}. The present participles (klaiousan, klaiontas) portray ongoing lament, while the aorist participle sunelthontas marks the mourners’ prior arrival “with her” (aute) as background information.
In context — John 11:33
Jesus therefore, when He saw her weeping and the Jews who had come with her weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and troubled Himself.
