John 1:39 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Our Lord discerning the end of their following him to be sincere and good, invites them to come and see where his lodging was; for he elsewhere telleth us, that he had not a house wherein to hide his head. They came and saw his lodgings; where, or of what nature they were, we are not told, but we never read that he during his whole pilgrimage amongst us had any stately or splendid lodgings. The text saith that these two disciples abode with him that day; whether only the two or three remaining hours of the same day, (for it was now about four of the clock afternoon, which answers the tenth hour according to the Jewish account), or another whole day, being the sabbath day, (as some think), we are not told, nor can conclude; certain it is, they abode with him the remaining part of that day, from four of the clock till night.

John 1:39

39 He saith unto them,Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was aboutd the tenth hour.
