Come And See.

Come And See.On November 30, the remembrance of the Holy Apostle Andrew, we hear about his call from the gospel of John. Andrew first received word about Jesus from John the Forerunner, and then followed him; after being invited to come and see, he is said to “see” where Jesus abides. The Greek word here ἰδεῖν expresses seeing in order to worship. Throughout John, the evangelist uses different words that are rendered “to see” in English. Sometimes, seeing is equated with believing. This seems to break with the other gospels which systematically give priority to hearing. Yet John only equates seeing and believing when what is seen is preceded by a word, and what follows is true worship.
