Exegesis
The verse consists of a single finite verb edakrysen {ἐδάκρυσεν | edá-kry-sen} ‘he wept’ followed by the articular subject ho Iesous {ὁ Ἰησοῦς | ho Iē-soûs} ‘the Jesus’, giving a Verb–Subject order that is common in narrative Greek and places prominence on the action before naming the actor. The aorist indicative portrays the weeping as a complete, punctiliar event rather than ongoing sobbing, highlighting a decisive moment of visible emotion.
The article ho {ὁ | ho} with the proper name functions to mark Jesus as a familiar, contextually given figure within the discourse. In English, natural Subject–Verb order is preferred, so the clause is rendered as “Jesus wept” and “Jesus burst into tears,” preserving the focus on Jesus while allowing the aorist to be reflected either with a simple past (“wept”) or a more vivid, event-focused phrase (“burst into tears”) in the dynamic rendering.
