John 1:35-45

35The next day, John was standing with two of his disciples.

36When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”

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

38When Jesus turned and noticed them following him, he asked them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which means “Teacher”), “where are you staying?”

39“Come and you’ll see,” he replied. So they went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four in the afternoon.

40Andrew, Simon 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” (which is translated “the Christ”),

42and he brought Simon to Jesus. When Jesus saw him, he said, “You are Simon, son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated “Peter”).

43The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. He found Philip and told him, “Follow me.”

44Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the hometown of Andrew and Peter.

45Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the law (and so did the prophets): Jesus the son of Joseph, from Nazareth.”
