John 1:33-41

33I did not recognize Him [as the Messiah], but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘He upon whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this One is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’

34I myself have [actually] seen [that happen], and my testimony is that this is the Son of God!”

35Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples,

36and he looked at Jesus as He walked along, and said, “Look! The Lamb of God!”

37The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.

38And Jesus turned and saw them following Him, and asked them, “What do you want?” They answered Him, “Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are You staying?”

39He said to them, “Come, and you will see.” So they went [with Him] and saw where He was staying; and they stayed with Him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.

40One of the two who heard what John said and [as a result] followed Jesus was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.

41He first looked for and found his own brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah” (which translated means the Christ).
