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.

35 Again the next day after John stood , and two of his disciples;

36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked , he saith , Behold the Lamb of God!

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

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