Could to explain that more?

Are you saying that the words "Jesus wept" could be used by the Holy Spirit to bring someone to faith, even if the person knows of no other Scriptures? Or are you saying that a person who has heard the Gospel before, upon hearing that verse later, could be convicted of sin and repent and believe?
Yes, a person hearing those words and "understanding them" is sufficient to bring them to faith. Of course, just the name of Jesus is enough to make the knee bend. When we speak of "application" by the Holy Spirit, we are speaking of sufficient revelation to understand the Gospel. In that simple text even someone who had never heard the Bible before could gain information sufficient to regeneration. The Holy Spirit could apply such questions and answers from this text, as: Who is Jesus? Jesus is. Why did Jesus weep? Jesus is God, does God weep? etc. etc. etc. There is a lot of information in the shortest verse of the Scripture. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bravo.gif" alt="" />
