John 1:28-46

²⁸These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

²⁹The next day he seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world!

³⁰This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who hath gone before me; for he was before me.

³¹And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, therefore I came baptizing in water.

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

³³And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize in water, the same said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit.

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

³⁵On the morrow John was again standing, and two of his disciples;

³⁶and looking upon Jesus as he was walking, he saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!

³⁷The two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.

³⁸Jesus turning and seeing them following, saith to them, What seek ye? And they said to him, Rabbi, (that is to say, when interpreted, Teacher,) where dost thou dwell?

³⁹He saith to them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he dwelt; and they abode with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.

⁴⁰One of the two who heard what John said, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

⁴¹He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah; (which is, when interpreted, the Christ.)

⁴²He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looking upon him said, Thou art Simon, the son of John; thou shalt be called Cephas; (which signifieth Peter, that is, Rock.)

⁴³On the morrow he determined to go forth into Galilee, and 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 wrote, Jesus, the son of Joseph, who is of Nazareth.

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