John 11:5

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

The disciples said to him, Rabbi, the Jews lately sought to stone you, and do you go there again?

As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you; continue in my love.

for the Father himself is a friend to you, because you have been friends to me, and believed that I came forth from God.

And I have declared to them thy name, and will declare it, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, as I also am in them.
