Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
Ver. 38. What seek ye] He saith still in effect as much as all this to all his suitors; and infinitely scorns that it should be said that any one seeketh him in vain, Isaiah 45:19. He is found of them that sought him not, and saith, "Behold me" to every passenger, Isaiah 65:1. Here he offers himself to these two disciples, and speaks first. He of his own accord (without any monitor) is wont to aid us. "His eyes are upon the righteous, as well as his ears are open to their prayers," Psalms 34:15. Should he not see as well as hear, and prevent as well as follow us with his favours, we should want many things, and it would go full ill with us.
