When the disciples inquire and Jesus their master replies to them, it’s as if we too are learning with them when we hear or read the holy Gospel. … Let us with them be inquiring disciples, and let us also listen to our common master … so that it’s not only they who then heard him speak but we, too, who can learn this from his Gospel.  (In Ioannem Tr. 76, 1, 2; PL 35, 1831)
