 They were different. They knew that He was God. They knew that He was the Christ. They knew He was the Messiah because they had spent time with Him. They were so convinced that He was the Messiah that they went out and told others, said, come and see Him. Come and meet Him. I underwent out and found His brother. He said, Peter, come and see Him. Come and see the Messiah. When we go on in verse 43 to 49, we see that John records that Jesus is the King of Israel.
