Where have you laid him?
This phrase is a direct question from Jesus, highlighting His genuine humanity and empathy. The Greek word for "laid" is "ethekate," which implies a deliberate placement, often used in the context of burial. This question shows Jesus' willingness to engage with the reality of death, a profound moment that underscores His compassion and foreshadows His power over death. Historically, tombs were often caves or carved into rock, emphasizing the finality and solemnity of the burial process. Jesus' inquiry is not just about location but an invitation to witness His forthcoming miracle.

He asked
The act of asking here is significant. The Greek verb "eipen" is used, which is a simple past tense, indicating a straightforward, yet profound interaction. Jesus, fully God and fully man, engages in human conversation, demonstrating His relational nature. This moment is a reminder of the Incarnation, where God enters into human experience, not as a distant observer but as an active participant.

Come and see, Lord
The response of the people, "Come and see," is an invitation for Jesus to enter into their grief and loss. The Greek word "erchou" (come) is an imperative, showing urgency and expectation. "See" (ide) is also an imperative, inviting Jesus to witness the reality of death. This phrase reflects the faith and hope of those present, acknowledging Jesus' authority and expressing a desire for His intervention. The use of "Lord" (Kyrie) signifies respect and recognition of Jesus' divine authority, even in the face of death.

they answered
The collective response of "they" indicates a communal aspect of grief and hope. The Greek "legousin" (they said) suggests a shared voice, representing the collective faith and expectation of the community. This communal response highlights the importance of community in times of sorrow and the shared hope in Christ's power to bring life from death. It also sets the stage for the miracle of Lazarus' resurrection, a testament to Jesus' power and the faith of those who believe in Him.

(34) Where have ye laid him?--The question is directed, of course, to the sisters. This is further shown by the answer, "Lord, come and see." Both question and answer are expressed in the shortest form. Grief speaks in the fewest possible words.

Verse 34. - And he said, Where have ye laid him? They say unto him, Lord, come and see. A strange echo of John 1:39 (cf. Revelation 6:1, 5, 7) - Christ asking for information. The Lord was answered out of his own words. His mind was made up.
