Question

Does the verse 'Jesus wept' prove that Jesus was only a man?

Answer

She said, “I can prove to you by the Bible if you’ll just open up your mind that he was only a man.” I said, “Do it by the Bible and I’ll believe it.” She said, “When he went down to that resurrection of Lazarus…” said, “On his road down there, he cried with the rest the people. The Bible said, ‘Jesus wept.’ And that proved that he was a mortal.” Yes, I said, “He might’ve cried. That’s true. On His road down to meet Lazarus, He was human as far as human is concerned. In His flesh He was human, but is His Spirit He was God.” I said, “He cried. That was a Man crying. He was Man when He was crying, going down to Lazarus’ grave, but when He stood there, and straightened that little frame up, and said, ‘Lazarus, come forth.’ And a man that’d been dead four days come to life again, that was more than a man. That was God speaking through there.” Hallelujah. God was in His Son. That was God speaking through mortal flesh. Corruption knew its Master. Believest thou this?
