    Apparently "Jesus wept" is not the shortest verse in the Bible. "He said," Job, Chapter 3 Verse 2, has been suggested. Is there a shorter one?

    Question #2694. Asked by EbonyUK.

    It depends on the translation you are using.

    King James Version, Job 3:2 - "And Job spake, and said."
    King James Version, John 11:35 - "Jesus wept".

    However, in more modern translations, Job 3:2 is shorter.

    "Jesus wept" is a phrase famous for being the shortest verse in the Christian New Testament according to the division of chapters and verses of the Bible. It is found in the Gospel of John, Chapter 11, verse 35.
