Commentary on John 1:43

Theological / Devotional

The day following. That is, the day after the events of vs. 35-42, and probably the third day after those of vs. 19-28 (see vs. 29, 35).

Would go. That is, purposed to go, or was about to go.

Findeth Philip. Perhaps as a result of the efforts of the three who had already found Jesus. Concerning Philip see on Mark 3:18.

Follow me. Here, more nearly in the sense of becoming a disciple (see on Mark 2:14), not in the simple sense of walking after someone, as in v. 37. However, see on Luke 5:11; John 1:40.
