John 11:8
King James Version
8 Jun 2026
“His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?”
μαθητής
Not just a follower — a learner who becomes like the teacher. The last command Jesus gives is not go and convert — it is go and make mathetes. People who learn from Me, walk like Me, think like Me, love like Me. The mission is not decisions. It is transformation.
