John 11:5

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

The disciples told him, "Rabbi, the Jewish leaders were just now trying to stone you to death, and you are going back there again?"

Just as the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. So abide in my love.

because the Father himself loves you, and because you have loved me and believed that I came from God.

I made your name known to them, and will continue to make it known, so that the love you have for me may be in them and I myself may be in them."
