And said, where have ye laid him?.... This he might say as man, though he, as the omniscient God, knew where he was laid; and that it might appear there was no juggle and contrivance between him, and the relations of the deceased; and to raise some expectation of what he intended to do; and to draw the Jews thither, that they might be witnesses of the miracle he was about to work. They say unto him; That is, Martha and Mary, Lord, come and see; it being but a little way off.

Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: John (lightly modernized text, Grace Gems edition) (1869)

Not many passages in the New Testament are more wonderful than the simple narrative contained in these eight verses.

It shows us Him who is One with the Father, and the Maker of all things, entering into human sorrows, and shedding human tears.
