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?

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.
