John 1:28-46

²⁸These things came to pass in Bethabara, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing,

²⁹on the morrow John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, 'Lo, the Lamb of God, who is taking away the sin of the world;

³⁰this is he concerning whom I said, After me doth come a man, who hath come before me, because he was before me:

³¹and I knew him not, but, that he might be manifested to Israel, because of this I came with the water baptizing.

³²And John testified, saying — 'I have seen the Spirit coming down, as a dove, out of heaven, and it remained on him;

³³and I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, He said to me, On whomsoever thou mayest see the Spirit coming down, and remaining on him, this is he who is baptizing with the Holy Spirit;

³⁴and I have seen, and have testified, that this is the Son of God.'

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

³⁶and having looked on Jesus walking, he saith, 'Lo, the Lamb of God;'

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

³⁸And Jesus having turned, and having beheld them following, saith to them, 'What seek ye?' and they said to them, 'Rabbi, (which is, being interpreted, Teacher,) where remainest thou?'

³⁹He saith to them, 'Come and see;' they came, and saw where he doth remain, and with him they remained that day and the hour was about the tenth.

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

⁴¹this one doth first find his own brother Simon, and saith to him, 'We have found the Messiah,' (which is, being interpreted, The Anointed,)

⁴²and he brought him unto Jesus: and having looked upon him, Jesus saith, 'Thou art Simon, the son of Jonas, thou shalt be called Cephas,' (which is interpreted, A rock.)

⁴³On the morrow, he willed to go forth to Galilee, and he findeth Philip, and saith to him, 'Be following me.'

⁴⁴And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter;

⁴⁵Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, 'Him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and the prophets, we have found, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth;'

⁴⁶and Nathanael said to him, 'Out of Nazareth is any good thing able to be?' Philip said to him, 'Come and see.'
