Verse 37
Two of John the Baptist’s disciples started following Jesus because of John’s witness. This was perfectly proper since John’s ministry was to point others to Jesus. They were not abandoning the Baptist for a more popular teacher. They were simply doing what John urged his hearers to do. They began following Jesus physically to learn from Him. They also took the first steps toward genuine discipleship. This was no tentative inquiry but a giving of themselves to Him as disciples. [Note: Morris, p. 137.]
