35
The next day John was back at his post with two disciples, who were watching.
36
He looked up, saw Jesus walking nearby, and said, "Here he is, God's Passover Lamb."
37
The two disciples heard him and went after Jesus.
38
Jesus looked over his shoulder and said to them, "What are you after?" They said, "Rabbi" (which means "Teacher"), "where are you staying?"
39
He replied, "Come along and see for yourself." They came, saw where he was living, and ended up staying with him for the day. It was late afternoon when this happened.
