JOHN 11:38 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.”
Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance — Jesus' renewed emotional disturbance (again embrimaomai, verse 38 as in verse 33) as He approaches the tomb suggests continued internal struggle or intensity regarding what is about to occur. The tomb is described as a cave with a stone sealing the entrance, a typical Jewish burial arrangement of the period.
