John 1:40-49

401One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 41He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the 2Messiah” (which translated means 3Christ). 42He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of 45John; you shall be called 6Cephas” (which is translated 78Peter).

439The next day He 10decided to go to 11Galilee, and He found 12Philip. And Jesus said to him, “13Follow Me.” 44Now 14Philip was from 15Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 4516Philip found 17Nathanael and said to him, “We have found Him of whom 18Moses wrote in the Law, and 19the prophets also wrote: Jesus 20the son of Joseph, from 21Nazareth!” 46Nathanael said to him, “22Can anything good be from Nazareth?” 23Philip said to him, “Come and see.” 47Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and said of him, “Here is truly an 24Israelite, in whom there is no deceit!” 48Nathanael said to Him, “How do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before 25Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” 49Nathanael answered Him, “26Rabbi, You are 27the Son of God; You are the 28King of Israel!”
