Why did Jesus weep at the death of Lazarus?

 

Why did Jesus weep at the death of Lazarus when he knew he should see him so soon? 

His tears were all out of sympathy for Lazarus when he was recalled from a spiritual world to an earthly state, and whose life was to be full of suffering and pain.

Was the soul of Lazarus in the spiritual world while his body was in the grave? 

He was there, and was received as the beloved and intimate friend of Christ.

When he returned to this life did he remember where he had been?

When he heard the voice of Christ, he followed it, as the servant follows the voice of his lord, and one look into his compassionate eyes made all things possible to him. Remember always the difference between us and you is one of state, and you will see how it was possible for him to forget his stay in that state. I am permitted to know that his spiritual eyes were often opened while he was in human life and he suffered all the horrors of martyrdom with heaven visible to him.

Did he suffer martyrdom? 

He was martyred for his belief in Christ. There is no record, but it is a subject in which I was always interested, and it was given me to know of his second life on earth. This reincarnation was not difficult and was done in accordance with the law that governs such things, and he was, for the purpose our Lord had at the time, reincarnated into the same body.
