It highlights the ongoing nature of John's testimony about Jesus. The Gospel of John often uses time markers to structure the narrative, emphasizing the unfolding revelation of Jesus as the Messiah.<p><b>John was there again</b><br>John the Baptist's presence is significant as he consistently points others to Jesus. His role as a forerunner is prophesied in <a href="/isaiah/40-3.htm">Isaiah 40:3</a> and <a href="/malachi/3.htm">Malachi 3:1</a>, preparing the way for the Lord. His steadfastness in his mission underscores his commitment to God's calling, serving as a model of faithfulness.<p><b>with two of his disciples</b><br>These disciples are later identified as Andrew and, likely, John the Apostle. The presence of disciples indicates that John the Baptist had a following, people who were committed to his message of repentance and preparation for the coming Messiah. This reflects the Jewish tradition of rabbinic discipleship, where students would learn from a teacher. The transition of these disciples from John to Jesus marks the shift from the old covenant to the new, as they recognize Jesus as the fulfillment of John's message.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/john_the_baptist.htm">John the Baptist</a></b><br>A pivotal figure in the New Testament, John the Baptist is known for his role in preparing the way for Jesus Christ.

Rather it is that, in that band of disciples too, there is an inner circle of those who, because they can receive more, are taught more. They had heard the words before, it may be had talked together about them, at least in individual thought had tried to follow them, and now they have come to the Teacher again. Can we doubt what questions fill the heart or shape themselves in word? He had passed through their struggle from darkness into light.
