SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:37
¶ Y los dos discípulos le oyeron hablar, y siguieron a Jesús.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 1:37
Verse 37. And the two disciples heard him] And they perfectly understood their master's meaning; in consequence of which, they followed Jesus. Happy they who, on hearing of the salvation of Christ, immediately attach themselves to its author! Delays are always dangerous; and, in this case, often fatal. Reader! hast thou ever had Christ as a sacrifice for thy sin pointed out unto thee? If so, hast thou followed him? If not, thou art not in the way to the kingdom of God. Lose not another moment! Eternity is at hand! and thou art not prepared to meet thy God. Pray that he may alarm thy conscience, and stir up thy soul to seek till thou have found.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 37. And the two disciples heard him speak , etc.] The above words, and took notice of them; faith in Christ came by hearing them; they reached their hearts, and they found their affections, and the desires of their souls, to be after Christ: and they followed Jesus ; left their master, and went after him, in order to get some acquaintance with him, and receive some instructions from him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 37-42 - The strongest and most prevailing argument with an awakened soul to follow Christ, is, that it is he only who takes away sin. Whateve communion there is between our souls and Christ, it is he who begin the discourse. He asked, What seek ye? The question Jesus put to them we should all put to ourselves when we begin to follow Him, What do we design and desire? In following Christ, do we seek the favour of God and eternal life? He invites them to come without delay. Now is the accepted time, 2Co 6:2. It is good for us to be where Christ is wherever it be. We ought to labour for the spiritual welfare of thos related to us, and seek to bring them to Him. Those who come to Christ must come with a fixed resolution to be firm and constant to him, lik a stone, solid and stedfast; and it is by his grace that they are so.
