John 1:28-43

²⁸These things took place at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was giving baptism.

²⁹The day after, John sees Jesus coming to him and says, See, here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

³⁰This is he of whom I said, One is coming after me who is put over me because he was in existence before me.

³¹I myself had no knowledge of him, but I came giving baptism with water so that he might be seen openly by Israel.

³²And John gave this witness, saying, I saw the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove and resting on him.

³³I had no knowledge who he was, but he who sent me to give baptism with water said to me, The one on whom you see the Spirit coming down and resting, it is he who gives baptism with the Holy Spirit.

³⁴This I saw myself and my witness is that he is the Son of God.

³⁵The day after, John was there again with two of his disciples;

³⁶And looking at Jesus while he was walking he said, See, there is the Lamb of God!

³⁷Hearing what he said, the two disciples went after Jesus.

³⁸And Jesus, turning round, saw them coming after him and said to them, What are you looking for? They said to him, Rabbi (which is to say, Master), where are you living?

³⁹He said to them, Come and see. They went with him then and saw where he was living; and they were with him all that day: it was then about the tenth hour of the day.

⁴⁰Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two men who, hearing what John said, went after Jesus.

⁴¹Early in the morning he came across his brother and said to him, We have made discovery! It is the Messiah! (which is to say, the Christ).

⁴²And he took him to Jesus. Looking at him fixedly Jesus said, You are Simon, the son of John; your name will be Cephas (which is to say, Peter).

⁴³The day after this, Jesus had a desire to go into Galilee. He came across Philip and said to him, Come and be my disciple.
