YLT
38Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye?
38Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, “What are you looking for?”
38And Jesus having turned, and having beheld them following, saith to them, ‘What seek ye?’
39He 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.
39He said to them, “Come, and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
39He saith to them, ‘Come and see;’ they came, and saw where he doth remain, and with him they remained that day; and the hour was about the tenth.

The Study Partner · a coach, not an oracle
Before we open a commentary — what does Jesus do first in verse 38?
He turns around and asks them a question.
Why might He ask, rather than tell? What does the question invite them to name?
