Exegesis
The first aorist, ēgapēsen {ἠγάπησέν | ēgápēsen} ‘loved,’ states the Father’s action with decisive force, while the second aorist, ēgapēsa {ἠγάπησα | ēgápēsa} ‘loved,’ places Jesus’ action in a tightly parallel position.
In context — John 15:9
Just as the Father has loved Me , I also have loved you; remain in My love.
