and when they found Him
This phrase indicates a deliberate search and discovery. The Greek word for "found" is "εὗρον" (heuriskō), which implies an active seeking. The disciples were not passively waiting but were intent on locating Jesus. This reflects the urgency and importance of Jesus' presence in their lives. Historically, this search can be seen as a metaphor for the spiritual quest of humanity, seeking the divine presence in a world often filled with confusion and darkness. The disciples' search for Jesus is symbolic of the believer's journey to find and follow Christ.

they said
The act of speaking here is significant. The Greek word "λέγουσιν" (legousin) is used, which means to say or to speak. This indicates communication and the importance of expressing one's needs and desires. In the context of the disciples, it shows their reliance on Jesus and their need to communicate their concerns and observations to Him. This reflects the Christian practice of prayer, where believers are encouraged to bring their thoughts and needs before God.

Everyone is looking for You
The word "Everyone" (Greek: "πάντες," pantes) suggests a universal need or desire for Jesus. This highlights the widespread recognition of Jesus' authority and the longing for His presence. The phrase "is looking for" comes from the Greek "ζητοῦσιν" (zētousin), which means to seek or to search for. This indicates an active pursuit, suggesting that people were not merely curious but were earnestly seeking Jesus for guidance, healing, and teaching. Historically, this reflects the growing popularity of Jesus' ministry and the deep spiritual hunger of the people. In a broader theological context, it underscores the universal human need for a Savior and the fulfillment found in Christ alone. This phrase serves as a reminder of the centrality of Jesus in the Christian faith and the call for believers to continually seek Him in their lives.

Verse 37. - All are seeking thee. The "thee" is here emphatic (πάντες ζητοῦσίσε).
