He knew he was about to die. He knew unimaginable pain was comming his way shortly and remember, he was 100% God but also 100% man. It was a basic human emotional reaction to his feeling of great sadness.

Jesus wept, after he came to a realization that he does not mourn Lazarus's death the same as all of his followers, he knows that Lazarus was destined for heaven. The realization he came to is that no human understands existence after death. So he weeps once he invisions that he is not a regular human like his fellows, but a true son of god, the true Messiah.

A.the sciptures teach that Jesus wept because of there unbelief, they new him as a man, but they did not know him as God, having all authority and power even to raise the dead, in the scriptures we read that the people were weeping for Lazarus, The Bible says that he groaned in the Spirit John 11:33. Becuase of all the miracles that had been done they still did not believe, but this had to take place the Bible says that this death was not for Lazarus, But that many would believe. John 11:14-15, This was also for the future event when Christ died and rose from the dead that they would also believe.

Jesus wept when Lazarus, his close friend and disciple died, because he was SAD he died. Even though he knew he could raise him from the dead he was still sad Lazarus died and the family lost their loved one. Jesus was not immune from human emotions. Keep in mind that Jesus was a blend of humanness and deity. He missed his good friend and disciple. He was glad when God the Father allowed him to raise Lazarus from the dead but not for his own selfish reasons. God got the glory when God displayed his ability to overcome death.

Jerusalem. Luke 19:41 says "And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it," The context reveals which city it was that he wept over. See Luke 19:28 "And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem." And Luke 19:45 "And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;" (There was only one temple, and it was located at Jerusalem.) See also these verses where Jesus laments over Jerusalem: Luke 13:34 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen [doth gather] her brood under [her] wings, and ye would not!" and also a similar verse in Matthew 23:37-39.

Jesus wept when he entered Jerusalem, as the Jews were God's chosen people they failed to recognize him. He also told the ladies not to weep for him.
