When this man cried, it was because his wife had slipped away and died.

When this man cried, it was because he had just met his bride to be.

When this man cried, it was because he was reunited to his long lost brother.

When this man cried, it was because he was leaving his best friend.

When this man cried, it was because of all the cruelty he witnessed all around.

When this man cried, it was because he would not recover from a fatal illness.

When this man cried, it was because he was witnessing a new temple being build.

When this man cried, it was because he saw the disobedience of those around him.

When this man cried, it was because he heard of his home's dire estate.

When this man cried, it was because he lost his family, health, and belongings.

When this man cried, it was because he was grieved over the trouble coming.

When this man cried, it was because his friend had died.

When this man cried, it was because he felt shame over his betrayal.

When this man cried, it was because his ministry was difficult.

When this man cried, it was because he realized that there was no one worthy.
