'Loved' in the Bible

“For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.

“This, then, is the judgment: The light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil.

Now Jesus loved Martha, her sister, and Lazarus.

So the Jews said, “See how He loved him!”

For they loved praise from men more than praise from God.

Before the Passover Festival, Jesus knew that His hour had come to depart from this world to the Father. Having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

One of His disciples, the one Jesus loved, was reclining close beside Jesus.

“I give you a new command: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, you must also love one another.

The one who has My commands and keeps them is the one who loves Me. And the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father. I also will love him and will reveal Myself to him.”

You have heard Me tell you, ‘I am going away and I am coming to you.’ If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.

“As the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you. Remain in My love.

This is My command: Love one another as I have loved you.

For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God.

I am in them and You are in Me.May they be made completely one,so the world may know You have sent Meand have loved them as You have loved Me.

Father,I desire those You have given Meto be with Me where I am.Then they will see My glory,which You have given Mebecause You loved Me before the world’s foundation.

I made Your name known to themand will make it known,so the love You have loved Me withmay be in them and I may be in them.

When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple He loved standing there, He said to His mother, “Woman, here is your son.”

So she ran to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put Him!”

Therefore the disciple, the one Jesus loved, said to Peter, “It is the Lord!”When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tied his outer garment around him (for he was stripped) and plunged into the sea.

So Peter turned around and saw the disciple Jesus loved following them. That disciple was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is the one that’s going to betray You?”
