John 11 Chiasm

Another one - this time John 11. It seems the central verse here is 'Jesus wept' (11.35). With misunderstandings abounding, with the air of despair from the hopelessness of the situation, what else could Jesus do but weep?!

11.1-7 Tale of two cities
11.8-16 It's dangerous for Jesus
11.17-27 Martha and the resurrection of the dead
11.28-34 Misunderstandings
11.35 Jesus wept
11.36-37 Misunderstandings
11.38-45 Martha and the resurrection of the dead
11.47-53 It's dangerous for Jesus
11.54-57 Tale of two cities
