Subject: "Where are you staying" and the Sabbath |
Bible Note: This was an unusual first question directed to the "Lamb of God." This would certainly not have made my list of questions. Why did they ask it? The question was an important one to Jews on the Sabbath because the Sabbath rest, as interpreted by their leaders, limited the travel an observant Jew could make. Instead of providing data so they could calculate whether they could safely move within the limits, Jesus issued them an invitation -- Come and see. This immediately lead them to decide whether they would follow Jesus the Christ or follow their leaders directives. Additionally, they remained for the rest of the day. This also would agree with the argument that that this action took place on the Sabbath. |
