³⁸ 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?”

⁷ Then He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?”

And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”

^2 (A)This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for ^(B)no one can do these signs that You do unless ^(C)God is with him.”

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered and said to Him, “Rabbi, ^(A)You are the Son of God! You are ^(B)the King of Israel!”

⁴ Jesus therefore, ^(A)knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, “Whom are you seeking?”

²⁵ And when they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “Rabbi, when did You come here?”

²⁶ And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, ^(A)to whom you have testified—behold, He is baptizing, and all ^(B)are coming to Him!”

²⁹ Therefore I came without objection as soon as I was sent for. I ask, then, for what reason have you sent for me?”
