{Come and ye shall see} (erchesthe kai opsesthe). Polite
invitation and definite promise (future middle indicative
opsesthe from hora(935c), correct text, not imperative idete).
{Where he abode} (pou menei). Indirect question preserving the
present active indicative after secondary tense (eidan, saw)
according to regular Greek idiom. Same verb men(935c) as in 38 .
{With him} (par' aut(9369)). "By his side," "beside him." {That
day} ( (886e) h(886d)eran ekein(886e)). Accusative of extent of time, all
during that day. {About the tenth hour} (h(9372)a h(9373) dekat(885c)).
Roman time and so ten o'clock in the morning. John in Ephesus at
the close of the century naturally uses Roman time. See 20:19
"evening on that day," clearly Roman time. Thus also Joh 19:14
(sixth hour, morning) and Mr 15:25 (third hour, nine A.M.)
suit. To his latest day John never forgot the hour when first he
met Jesus.
