John 11:36

Then said … loved him Here, as in John 11:12; John 11:14; John 11:16; John 11:20; John 11:31; John 11:41; John 11:45; John 11:47; John 11:53; John 11:56, -then" should rather be therefore, as rightly given in John 11:3; John 11:33; John 11:38; John 11:54: it is S. John's favourite particle in all these verses. Both the verbs here are imperfects; - keptsaying," - usedto love." What follows shews that this remark was not made by all the Jews. The word for -love" is the more passionate word used in John 11:3 by the sisters, not the higher word used in John 11:5 by the Evangelist.
