John1:38

38 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 ?

Christ as he walked, turning him, and seeing two men following him, inquireth of their end, what they sought; to teach us in all our Religious motions and actions, to do the like; for the end will contribute much to specify the Action, and to make it good or bad. They give him that honourable Title which was then in Fashion, by, and under which they were wont to speak to those upon whom they relied for Instruction, whose Doctrine they desired to know, and with whom they desired to converse, and to learn of him. They asked him, where he abode, or where he lodged?
