⁴⁰Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard John and followed him. ⁴¹This one first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is translated “Christ”). ⁴²He brought him to Jesus. Looking at him, Jesus said, “You are Simon the son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is interpreted “Peter”).

Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael

⁴³On the next day he wanted to depart for Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, “Follow me!” ⁴⁴(Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the town of Andrew and Peter.) ⁴⁵Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found the one whom Moses wrote about in the law, and the prophets wrote about—Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth!” ⁴⁶And Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see!”

⁴⁷Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said about him, “Look! A true Israelite^l in whom is no deceit!” ⁴⁸Nathanael said to him, “From where do you know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you^* were under the fig tree, I saw you.” ⁴⁹Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the king of Israel!”
