'Loved' in the Bible

And a voice came out of heaven, You are my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

And a cloud came over them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, give ear to him.

Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

He still had one more person to send, a son whom he loved. Finally, he sent him to them, saying, "They will respect my son.'
