"What do you want?" Do we know what we want? We want something: We are not satisfied with ourselves, with our lives, with our friends (or non-friends), with our surroundings, we need something or someone to fill our emptiness, but what, or who can do this?

"Teacher, where do you live?" The two disciples are asking for something else than Jesus' address; extending to them His name card would not answer their question. They need communion with Jesus, a person-to-person relationship, not the protocol of exchanging name cards.

"Come and see". This is the answer that meets their question. And this is what they needed: an intimate experience of His company. They had learned about Jesus from John's preaching, as we do from sermons, or from the religion class; but this is not the knowledge of Jesus that satisfies our needs; the knowledge has to be inner, the result of a heart-to-heart conversation with Him in solitude. We have to withdraw from the noise of the crowded streets and come to a quiet chapel, to a retreat house to meet Him there.

"It was 4pm." Twenty years after the meeting, the disciple could recall the exact hour. It had been an unforgettable experience! They had found what they were looking for, they "came and saw", they met Him where He was.
