Bible Studies/Hebrew word for Phrase, "Jesus wept"

Question
I'm just looking for the Hebrew word or words for the English phrase, "Jesus wept"

Answer
I am not a Hebrew scholar, but from I can determine from other scholars in that language the words for "Jesus wept" would be transliterated:  "Yahowshua wayeebk".     The name, Jesus, is the same in Hebrew as the name for Joshua, which is pronounced close to  "Jashua",.....and the word for "wept" is always "wayeebk".


I beleive that you will find this quite accurate to use.
