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 And again the next day John stood, and two of his disciples,

36 and looking upon Jesus as he walked, he said, Behold the Lamb of God!

37 And the two disciples heard him speak and followed Jesus.

38 Then Jesus turned and saw them following and said unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Master), where dwellest thou?

39 He said unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt and abode with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.
