John 1:37 Meaning and Commentary

John 1:37

And the two disciples heard him speak
The above words, and took notice of them; faith in Christ came by hearing them; they reached their hearts, and they found their affections, and the desires of their souls, to be after Christ:

and they followed Jesus;
left their master, and went after him, in order to get some acquaintance with him, and receive some instructions from him.

John 1:37 In-Context

35 The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples,

36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"

37 The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.

38 Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, "What are you seeking?" And they said to him, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?"

39 He said to them, "Come and you will see." So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.
