Commentary on John 11:5
John carefully documents Jesus' love for all three siblings, establishing the personal nature of His relationships. The Greek 'agapao' denotes divine, covenant love, not merely emotional affection. This love makes His delay (v. 6) more mysterious, teaching that divine love operates according to perfect wisdom, not human expectations. Christ's love does not guarantee immediate relief but ultimate good.
