Second of two words in the shortest Bible verse (4)

I believe the answer is:

wept

(Other definitions for wept that I've seen before include ""Jesus __" (shortest verse in the King James Bible)" , "Was unhappy" , ""Jesus ___" (St John's Gospel, xi. 35)" , "Cried, sobbed" , "Shed tears of grief" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
