John 11:15

Context
11:15 and I am glad 1  for your sake that I was not there, so that you may believe. 2  But let us go to him.”

1 tn Grk “and I rejoice.”

2 sn So that you may believe. Why does Jesus make this statement? It seems necessary to understand the disciples’ belief here in a developmental sense, because there are numerous references to the disciples’ faith previous to this in John’s Gospel, notably 2:11. Their concept of who Jesus really was is continually being expanded and challenged; they are undergoing spiritual growth; the climax is reached in the confession of Thomas in John 20:28.
