SCRIPTURE
"And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus." — John 1:37 (ASV)
The disciples understand the words as the teacher meant them. There is no word cutting the link between himself and them; that would have been hard to speak, hard to hear. There is no word bidding them follow Jesus; that cannot be needed.
