And he said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to him, "Lord, come and see." Jesus wept. When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in his spirit and greatly troubled. Can you imagine a friendship so true that the Son of God would stand at your grave with tears running down His face? Lazarus must have been a great man. Jesus, even knowing the good outcome, wept for his friend. Do you believe this?" She said to him, "Yes, Lord I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world." ( John 11:23-27) Lazarus was who “Jesus Wept” For Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again." Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day." Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life.

That specimen was destroyed at some point, which was unfortunate because that one fish caught by Cope was the last one any scientist would see for 122 years. It was first described by a European naturalist named Edward Drinker Cope in 1870 based on a single fish he found in the Yadkin River in North Carolina. ![]() The robust redhorse ( Moxostoma robustum) is a stout fish with pale pink fins and a giant striated lower lip situated where you'd usually think a chin would go, native to the Atlantic slope out the Southeastern United States.
