In John’s Gospel 1:35-38 two of John the Baptist’s disciples start to follow after Jesus. When Jesus senses that they are behind him he turns around quickly and says to them, and I am paraphrasing a bit, “So tell me what you want, what you really, really want?”. Notice Jesus does not ask them what they know or what they believe, but what they want. At this point, Jesus is not so much interested in the cognitive contents of their minds but in getting them to articulate the desires of their hearts.
