I wonder what it was that lured your feet to follow Him upon His homeward way. Was it mere eagerness to see the street, and house in which He sojourned, and to stay at closer quarters with Him for one day?

Or, did you feel a strange attractive Power, which lured you from your boat beside the bay; when, heeding not the passing of the hour, and caring not what other folk might say, you made your home with Him for that brief day?
