John 1:36

34 I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”

35 The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.

When he saw Jesus walking by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”

37 And when the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.

38 Jesus turned and saw them following. “What do you want?” He asked. They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are You staying?”

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
