Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said unto them,
What seek you?
They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher,) where do you dwell?
All Commentaries on John 1:38 Go To John 1
Cyril of Alexandria
AD 444
They said unto Him, Rabbi, where dwellest Thou?
Like people well instructed do they that are asked reply. For already do they call Him, Master, thereby clearly signifying their readiness to learn. Then they beg to know His home, as about therein to tell Him at a fit season of their need. For probably they did not think it right to make talk on needful subjects the companion of a journey. Be what is said again to us for a useful pattern.
