⁴⁰Andrew, ^kSimon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John and followed Him. ⁴¹He first found his own brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah!” ^l^m(which means “Anointed ⁿOne”), ⁴²and he brought Simon to Jesus.

When Jesus saw him, He said, “You are Simon, son of John. ^oYou will be called ^•Cephas” ^p(which means “Rock”).

Philip and Nathanael

⁴³The next day He ^qdecided to leave for Galilee. Jesus found Philip ^rand told him, “Follow Me!”

⁴⁴Now Philip was from Bethsaida, ^sthe hometown of Andrew and Peter. ⁴⁵Philip found Nathanael ^t^uand told him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law (and so did the prophets ^v): Jesus the son of Joseph, ^wfrom Nazareth!” ^x

⁴⁶“Can anything good ^ycome out of Nazareth?” Nathanael asked him.

“Come and see,” Philip answered.

⁴⁷Then Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him and said about him, “Here is a true Israelite; ^zno deceit is in him.”

⁴⁸“How do you know me?” Nathanael asked.

“Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you,” Jesus answered.

⁴⁹“Rabbi,” ^aNathanael replied, “You are the Son ^bof God! You are the King of Israel!” ^c
