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.

Also, Jesus said of that apostle: “If it is my will for him to remain until I come, of what concern is that to you?” This suggests that the one referred to would long survive Peter and the other apostles, a description that fits the apostle John.—See <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070681/11/0">study notes on Joh Title</a> and <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070681/12/0">Joh 1:6;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070681/13/0"> 21:20</a>.</p> <p id="p26" data-pid="26" class="s5"><strong>close to:</strong> Lit., “in the bosom of.” This expression refers to the way people were positioned at a dining table in Jesus’ day.

In the <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070681/18/0">Christian Greek Scriptures</a>, diminutives are often used to indicate affection and familiarity.

Jesus’ commandment was “new,” or unprecedented, in that he said: <strong>just as I have loved you.</strong> He gave his followers a perfect model to follow in how to love and live unselfishly for others, a love that would move a person to die for others.
