John 1:35–51

³⁵Again, on the morrow, there stood John and two of his disciples. ³⁶And, looking at Jesus as he walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God.

³⁷And the two disciples heard him speaking, and followed Jesus. ³⁸But Jesus having turned, and seeing them following, says to them, What seek ye? And they said to him, Rabbi (which, being interpreted, signifies Teacher), where abidest thou? ³⁹He says to them, Come and see. They went therefore, and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day. It was about the tenth hour. ⁴⁰Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard this from John and followed him. ⁴¹He first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found the Messias (which being interpreted is Christ). ⁴²And he led him to Jesus. Jesus looking at him said, Thou art Simon, the son of Jonas; thou shalt be called Cephas (which interpreted is stone).

⁴³On the morrow he would go forth into Galilee, and Jesus finds Philip, and says to him, Follow me. ⁴⁴And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter. ⁴⁵Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him, We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, Jesus, the son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth. ⁴⁶And Nathanael said to him, Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Philip says to him, Come and see. ⁴⁷Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says of him, Behold one truly an Israelite, in whom there is no guile. ⁴⁸Nathanael says to him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee. ⁴⁹Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel. ⁵⁰Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? Thou shalt see greater things than these. ⁵¹And he says to him, Verily, verily, I say to you, Henceforth ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of man.
