Commentary on John 1:38
Jesus' first recorded words in John's Gospel are a question: 'What seek ye?' (Ti zeteite;). This penetrating inquiry exposes motivation—why do you follow? The disciples' response, 'Rabbi, where dwellest thou?' shows desire for relationship, not just information. They want to know where Jesus abides, indicating desire for extended fellowship rather than brief encounter. Jesus' invitation 'Come and see' opens access to Himself—the first of many such invitations throughout John's Gospel.
