"'Jesus wept' ... is a phrase famous for being the shortest verse in the
King James Version of the Bible, as well as in many other translations
... In some places in the English-speaking world, including Great
Britain, Ireland (particularly Dublin and Belfast) and Australia, the
phrase 'Jesus wept' is an expletive that some people use when something
goes wrong or to express incredulity" -

Not just incredulity, but incredulity that anyone could be so stupid
and ignorant as to say something that has been said. If you follow
Quora you can find endless questions that inspire such a response.
