John 1:35-50

35TheG3588 next dayG1887 JohnG2491 was thereG2476 againG3825 withG2532 twoG1417 ofG1537 hisG846 disciplesG3101. 36WhenG2532 he sawG1689 JesusG2424 walking byG4043, he saidG3004, “LookG2400, theG3588 LambG286 of GodG2316!” 37And whenG2532 theG3588 twoG1417 disciplesG3101 heardG191 himG846 say thisG2980, they followedG190 JesusG2424.

JesusG2424 turnedG4762 andG2532 sawG2300 themG846 followingG190. “WhatG5101 do you wantG2212?” He askedG3004.

They saidG2036 to HimG846, “RabbiG4461” (whichG3739 meansG3177G3004 TeacherG1320), “whereG4226 are You stayingG3306?”

39“ComeG2064 andG2532 seeG3708,” He repliedG3004. SoG3767 they wentG2064 andG2532 sawG3708 whereG4225 He was stayingG3306, andG2532 spentG3306 thatG1565 dayG2250 withG3844 HimG846. It wasG1510 aboutG5613 the tenthG1182 hourG5610.1

40AndrewG406, SimonG4613 Peter’sG4074 brotherG80, wasG1510 oneG1520 ofG1537 theG3588 twoG1417 whoG3588 heardG191 John’sG2491 testimony andG2532 followedG190 Jesus. 41HeG3778 firstG4412 foundG2147 his brotherG80 SimonG4613 andG2532 toldG3004 himG846, “We have foundG2147 theG3588 MessiahG3323” (whichG3739 isG1510 translated asG3177 ChristG5547).

42Andrew broughtG71 himG846 toG4314 JesusG2424, who looked atG1689 himG846 and saidG2036, “YouG4771 areG1510 SimonG4613 sonG5207 of JohnG2491G2495. YouG4771 will be calledG2564 CephasG2786” (whichG3739 is translated asG2059 PeterG4074).

43TheG3588 next dayG1887 Jesus decidedG2309 to set outG1831 forG1519 GalileeG1056. FindingG2147 PhilipG5376, He toldG3004 himG846, “FollowG190 MeG1473.” 44NowG1161 PhilipG5376 wasG1510 fromG575 BethsaidaG966, theG3588 same townG4172 as AndrewG406 andG2532 PeterG4074.

45PhilipG5376 foundG2147 NathanaelG3482 andG2532 toldG3004 himG846, “We have foundG2147 theG3739 One MosesG3475 wrote aboutG1125 inG1722 theG3588 LawG3551, the One theG3588 prophetsG4396 foretold—JesusG2424 ofG575 NazarethG3478, the sonG5207 of JosephG2501.”

46“CanG1410 anything goodG5100G18 comeG1510 fromG1537 NazarethG3478?” NathanaelG3482 askedG2036.

“ComeG2064 andG2532 seeG2400,” saidG3004 PhilipG5376.

47

When JesusG2424 sawG3708 NathanaelG3482 approachingG2064G4314G846, He saidG3004 ofG4012 himG846, “HereG2400 is a trueG230 IsraeliteG2475, inG1722 whomG3739 there isG1510 noG3756 deceitG1388.”

48“HowG4159 do You knowG1097 meG1473?” NathanaelG3482 askedG3004.

JesusG2424 repliedG611, “BeforeG4253 PhilipG5376 calledG5455 youG4771, I sawG3708 youG4771 underG5259 theG3588 fig treeG4808.”

49“RabbiG4461,” NathanaelG3482 answeredG611, “YouG4771 areG1510 theG3588 SonG5207 of GodG2316! YouG4771 areG1510 the KingG935 of IsraelG2474!”

50JesusG2424 saidG2036 to himG846, “Do you believeG4100 just becauseG3754 I toldG2036 youG4771 I sawG3708 youG4771 underG5270 theG3588 fig treeG4808? You will seeG3708 greater thingsG3173 than theseG3778.”
