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 On the next day again John was standing [there], and two of his disciples,

36 and looking at Jesus [as he] was walking by, he said, "Look! The Lamb of God!"

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

38 And Jesus, turning around and seeing them following [him], said to them, "What do you seek?" And they said to him, "Rabbi" (which means [when] translated "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 (it was about the tenth hour).
