@Les Noll,
Not to take away from the sorrow that Jesus must have experienced when he heard of the death of John the Baptist. I am confident that Jesus already was aware of his demise and was not taken by surprise. Jesus knowing where John was after his death was also a comfort. Many people today do not have this comfort, not knowing where their family and friends are after death. I believe Jesus feels much more sorrow for those that reject him and his truth of eternal salvation.
