Back in John 1, we saw two of John the Baptist's own disciples who left John the Baptist and began to follow Jesus and one of those two disciples.

And that's a wonderful thing, right? Yet we will observe this morning that the men who are voicing this observation that all are coming to Jesus, are unhappy with this development. And guess who these men are....
