Exegesis
The phrase ten adelphen autes {τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῆς | tḕn adelphḕn au-tês} identifies the sister through Martha, keeping the family relation explicit while leaving the woman unnamed. One imperfect action therefore extends evenly across all three recipients, presenting a calm and inclusive statement of Jesus’ love.
In context — John 11:5
Now Jesus continued to love Martha, her sister , and Lazarus.
