John 1:38-39
Then Jesus turned, and seeing them following, said to them, “What do you seek?”
They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, when translated, Teacher), “where are You staying?”
He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where He was staying, and remained with Him that day (now it was about the tenth hour).
The context of this is that John the Baptist's disciples had just turned to follow Jesus, and the above conversation began. This illustrates people who desire to follow Jesus and they are interested about Him, and where He stays so they too may stay with Him. For most cases, our Lord Yshua is very inviting and freely let the people to be with Him. It also shows that following Yshua, is not just about reading and understanding, but it is a way of life. We are to eat with Him, drink with Him, sleep with Him; our whole lives dedicated to live as He lives - that is the challenge.
