John 1:29-44

29The next day, John sees Yeshua coming to him and says, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

30This is the One about whom I told you, ‘He who comes after me is above me, because He was before me.’

31I didn’t know Him, but I came immersing with water so that He might be revealed to Israel.”

32Then John testified, “I have seen the Ruach coming down like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on Him.

33I did not know Him; but the One who sent me to immerse in water said to me, ‘The One on whom you see the Ruach coming down and remaining, this is the One who immerses in the Ruach ha-Kodesh.’

34And I have seen and testified that this is Ben-Elohim.”

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

36and watched Yeshua walking by. He said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”

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

38Yeshua turned around and saw them following. He said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which is translated Teacher), “where are you staying?”

39“Come and see,” Yeshua tells them. So they came and saw where He was staying, and they spent that day with Him. It was about the tenth hour.

40Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard John speak and followed Yeshua.

41First he finds his own brother Simon and tells him, “We’ve found the Messiah!” (which is translated Anointed One).

42Andrew brought Simon to Yeshua. Yeshua looked at him and said, “You are Simon, son of John. You shall be called Kefa (which is translated Peter).”

43The next day, Yeshua decided to go to the Galilee. He finds Philip and says to him, “Follow Me!”

44Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.
