chapters of John’s <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070681/1/0">Gospel</a>. In the first 12 chapters of John’s account, the Greek verb <em>a·ga·paʹo</em> (to love) and the noun <em>a·gaʹpe</em> (love) are used a combined total of eight times. But in <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070681/1/0" data-bid="2-1" class="b">John chapters 13 to 21</a>, these terms appear a total of 36 times. In fact, Jesus’ deep love for his Father and for his disciples is nowhere made more apparent than in the closing chapters of John’s Gospel. For instance, all four Gospel accounts reveal Jesus’ love for Jehovah, but only John records that Jesus explicitly stated: “I love the Father.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070681/2/0" data-bid="3-1" class="b">Joh 14:31</a>) And it is during Jesus’ parting counsel to his disciples that he not only states that Jehovah loves him but also explains why.​—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070681/3/0" data-bid="4-1" class="b">Joh 15:9, 10</a>.</p> <p id="p6" data-pid="6" class="s5"><strong>loved them to the end:</strong> The Greek phrase used here likely refers to the end of Jesus’ life as a human.
