Questions about John's role (John 1:35-37)
• What is the significance of John the Baptist repeatedly identifying Jesus as "the Lamb of God"?
o What would this title have meant to a Jewish listener at the time?
o Why would John willingly direct his own followers away from himself and toward Jesus?
o How does John's humility in this passage serve as a model for all who bear witness to Jesus?
Questions about Jesus' invitation (John 1:38-39)
• What is the significance of Jesus' question, "What do you seek?" or "What are you looking for?"
o How does this question challenge our own motives for seeking Jesus?
o Do the disciples' actions show they knew what they were truly seeking?
• What does Jesus' invitation, "Come and see," tell us about how we come to know him?
o Is it enough to hear about Jesus, or is a personal encounter necessary?
o Why did Jesus not give them a direct answer about his dwelling place but instead invited them to experience it for themselves?
• The passage notes that the disciples spent the rest of the day with Jesus.
o What does the detail of the "tenth hour" (about 4 p.m.) suggest about the impact of that first encounter on the author's memory?
o What might they have discussed that day to so profoundly change their minds?
Questions about Andrew and Peter (John 1:40-42)
• Why is Andrew's first action to find and bring his brother, Simon, to Jesus?
o How does Andrew's evangelism model Christian witness for us today?
o What are the challenges and rewards of sharing the Gospel with close family members?
• When Jesus first saw Simon, he already knew his past ("son of John") and declared his future ("Cephas," or Peter, meaning "rock").
o What does this demonstrate about Jesus' authority and divine knowledge?
o How does this action show Jesus' power to change a person's identity and destiny?
o In what ways does following Jesus give believers a new identity?
Broader theological and application questions
• This passage presents discipleship as an active, personal journey.
o How is true faith "lived" out, not just thought about?
o What practical steps can someone take to "come and see" Jesus in their own life?
• The passage contains multiple titles for Jesus: the Lamb of God, Rabbi (Teacher), and Messiah.
o How do these titles help the reader understand who Jesus is?
o Which of these titles resonates most with you, and why?
• Why does John frame the calling of the first disciples in this Gospel differently than the synoptic Gospels?
o In John, the disciples are introduced to Jesus, while in the synoptics (e.g., Mark 1:16-20), Jesus more directly calls them to follow him. What is the significance of this difference?
