John 1:35-45

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

36John saw Jesus walk by. John said, “Look! This is the Lamb of God.”

37When the two disciples heard John say this, they followed Jesus.

38Jesus turned around and saw them following him. He asked them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which means “teacher”), “where are you staying?”

39Jesus told them, “Come, and you will see.” So they went to see where he was staying and spent the rest of that day with him. It was about ten o’clock in the morning.

40Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two disciples who heard John and followed Jesus.

41Andrew at once found his brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means “Christ”).

42Andrew brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at Simon and said, “You are Simon, son of John. Your name will be Cephas” (which means “Peter”).

43The next day Jesus wanted to go to Galilee. He found Philip and told him, “Follow me!”

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

45Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the man whom Moses wrote about in his teachings and whom the prophets wrote about. He is Jesus, son of Joseph, from the city of Nazareth.”
