I have read that EMBRIMAOMAI in John means something
more like Jesus felt anger or was upset, not that he
was deeply moved. I was looking last night in various
lexicons and it appears that the only place this verb
means something like "be deeply moved" is in John 11.
Elsewhere it means things like "scorn." It would seem
to me that translating it as "deeply moved" in John 11
would then be unjustified. One commentator I read
suggested that we should render it as "Jesus was
angry," which relates to Jesus being angry about death
and what it has done. Is this a plausible
understanding, or should we in fact give this Greek
word a novel meaning in John 11? Thanks.
