John 1:28-46

²⁸These things were done in Bethania, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

²⁹The next day, John saw Jesus coming to him, and he saith: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who taketh away the sin of the world.

³⁰This is he, of whom I said: After me there cometh a man, who is preferred before me: because he was before me.

³¹And I knew him not, but that he may be made manifest in Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

³²And John gave testimony, saying: I saw the Spirit coming down, as a dove from heaven, and he remained upon him.

³³And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize with water, said to me: He upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon him, he it is that baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

³⁴And I saw, and I gave testimony, that this is the Son of God.

³⁵The next day again John stood, and two of his disciples.

³⁶And beholding Jesus walking, he saith: Behold the Lamb of God.

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

³⁸And Jesus turning, and seeing them following him, saith to them: What seek you? Who said to him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?

³⁹He saith to them: Come and see. They came, and saw where he abode, and they stayed with him that day: now it was about the tenth hour.

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

⁴¹He findeth first his brother Simon, and saith to him: We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.

⁴²And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus looking upon him, said: Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is interpreted Peter.

⁴³On the following day, he would go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him: Follow me.

⁴⁴Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

⁴⁵Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him: We have found him of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets did write, Jesus the son of Joseph of Nazareth.

⁴⁶And Nathanael said to him: Can any thing of good come from Nazareth? Philip saith to him: Come and see.
