Jesus wept
Shortest scripture verse
Jesus wept is an exclamation of frustration, exasperation, or disbelief—a mild oath that sounds stronger than it is.
The phrase comes from the shortest verse in the Bible (John 11:35), describing Jesus crying at Lazarus's tomb.
As an interjection, it expresses weary dismay: Jesus wept, not another meeting.
