John1:39
39 He saith unto them, Come and see . They came and saw where he dwelt , and abode with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour .
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 an 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 onely 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.
Marginal references: That was about 2 hours before night.
