In the New Testament Jesus cries 3 times, that's when and the meaning

In New Testament there are only three occasions when Jesus cries.

JESUS ​​CRIES AFTER HAVING SEEN THE ANXIETY OF THOSE WHO LOVES

32 Mary, therefore, when she came to where Jesus was, seeing him threw herself at his feet, saying, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died!" 33 Then when Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who had come with her also weep, he was deeply moved, was troubled and said, 34 "Where have you placed him?" They said to him, "Lord, come and see!" 35 Jesus burst into tears. 36 Then the Jews said, "See how he loved him!" (John 11: 32-26)

In this episode, Jesus is moved after seeing those he loves cry and after seeing the tomb of Lazarus, a dear friend. This should remind us of the love God has for us, his sons and daughters and how much it pains him to see us suffer. Jesus shows true compassion and suffers with his friends, crying at the sight of such a difficult scene. However, there is light in the darkness and Jesus turns tears of pain into tears of joy when he raises Lazarus from the dead.

JESUS ​​CRIES WHEN HE SEES THE SINS OF HUMANITY

34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you, how many times have I wanted to gather your children like a hen its brood under the wings and you did not want to! (Luke 13:34)

41 When he was near, at the sight of the city, he wept over it, saying: 42 “If you also understood, in this day, the way of peace. But now it has been hidden from your eyes. (Luke 19: 41-42)

Jesus sees the city of Jerusalem and weeps. This is because he sees the sins of the past and the future and it breaks his heart. As a loving father, God hates to see us turn our backs on Him and strongly desires to hold us. However, we reject that hug and follow our own paths. Our sins make Jesus cry but the good news is that Jesus is always there to welcome us and he does so with open arms.

JESUS ​​CRIES PRAYING IN THE GARDEN BEFORE HIS CRUCIFIXION

In the days of his earthly life he offered prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to God who could save him from death and, by his full abandonment to him, he was heard. Although he was a Son, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, made perfect, became the cause of eternal salvation for all who obey him. (Hebrews 5: 0)

In this case, the tears are related to genuine prayer that is heard by God. While it is not always necessary to cry during prayer, it does highlight the fact that God desires a "contrite heart". He wants our prayers to be an expression of who we are and not just something on the surface. In other words, prayer should embrace our whole being, thus allowing God to enter every aspect of our life.
