From Background Notes [BN] for Aug 2nd &
3rd written by Pastor Bob Brown:
...
to learn a person is unusual, applying the verb to a person, treating
him as its object. However, within the Jewish culture, rabbis took students, talmidim,
not only to learn from them, but to witness their life.
That is why when Jesus called his
disciples, at least one of them asked the question "where are you
staying" (John 1:38-39), since they would be spending considerable time
together, allowing the disciple to observe how the rabbi conducted himself. The
transfer or imprinting of the godly life took place person-to-person and was
not merely a matter of communicating a body of information. [BN, 3]
