John 1:28-43

²⁸These things took place in Bethany, across the Jordan, where John was baptising.

²⁹On the morrow he sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.

³⁰He it is of whom I said, A man comes after me who takes a place before me, because he was before me;

³¹and I knew him not; but that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore have I come baptising with water.

³²And John bore witness, saying, I beheld the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him.

³³And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptise with water, he said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is who baptises with the Holy Spirit.

³⁴And I have seen and borne witness that this is the Son of God.

³⁵Again, on the morrow, there stood John and two of his disciples.

³⁶And, looking at Jesus as he walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God.

³⁷And the two disciples heard him speaking, and followed Jesus.

³⁸But Jesus having turned, and seeing them following, says to them, What seek ye? And they said to him, Rabbi (which, being interpreted, signifies Teacher), where abidest thou?

³⁹He says to them, Come and see. They went therefore, and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.

⁴⁰Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard this from John and followed him.

⁴¹He first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found the Messias (which being interpreted is Christ).

⁴²And he led him to Jesus. Jesus looking at him said, Thou art Simon, the son of Jonas; thou shalt be called Cephas (which interpreted is stone).

⁴³On the morrow he would go forth into Galilee, and Jesus finds Philip, and says to him, Follow me.
