Syntax search help please
Hi all,
I have not done much syntax searching in original languages so I hope you can give me some help.
Here is the syntax I would like to search for, if someone has time on their hands 
could you post an image of the solution to this problem, it will greatly help me learn I think!
I am interested in finding all occurrences in Greek/NT of either Jesus or pronouns, with the words similar to "weeps" (weeps, wept, was weeping, etc.) or "cried" (also all variations). I am assuming syntax searching could not tell me if "He wept" was about Jesus or someone else, I would have to examine the clause myself. Use whatever resource you think best solves the problem.
If that example makes sense, thanks!

To understand the basic structure see http://wiki.logos.com/A_Strategy_for_Syntax_Search
Jesus is the Subject and what he is doing is a Predicator
If you know Louw-Nida domains (just search or look over the lexicon) then 25 is Attitudes and Emotions, including weeping! If just want "weep" then use the Gloss box and accept all suggested words beginning "wee" or "wep" (insert a space between each).

Thanks Dave, very helpful! It gives me some stuff to research.
Will this handle pronouns like "He wept" as well? ALso - if I wanted a more specific search like 25.137 do I add that in the sameplace? And how about 25.137-25.141, add it like that?
I tried this, and it does not return any results. It should find John 11:35, "Jesus wept". I see the Louw domain is 25.137. I am working on it but I can't see what is wrong with this query.
Just type space and enter "he" after "Jesus"
The LN range appears broken, try a sub-domain like 25L.

If the attached image is what you were suggesting, it still does not return any results (you can see that in the image). Did I do it correctly? Thanks for your help!
On Word 1 & 2 check "Matching skips levels" It is represented in the earlier image as dotted lines.
