38. When Jesus turned and saw them following, he asked, "What are you looking for?" They said, "Rabbi (which is translated Teacher), where are you staying?"

39. He replied, "Come and see." So they went and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day. It was about four o’clock in the afternoon.
