³⁵

Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples.

³⁶

And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, "Behold the Lamb of God!"

³⁷

The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

³⁸

Then Jesus turned, and seeing them following, said to them, "What do you seek?" They said to Him, "Rabbi" (which is to say, when translated, Teacher), "where are You staying?"

³⁹

He said to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where He was staying, and remained with Him that day (now it was about the tenth hour).

⁴⁰

One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

⁴¹

He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which is translated, the Christ).

⁴²

And he brought him to Jesus. Now when Jesus looked at him, He said, "You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas" (which is translated, A Stone).

⁴³

The following day Jesus wanted to go to Galilee, and He found Philip and said to him, "Follow Me."

⁴⁴

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

⁴⁵

Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found Him of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote-Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

⁴⁶

And Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."

⁴⁷

Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!"

⁴⁸

Nathanael said to Him, "How do You know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

⁴⁹

Nathanael answered and said to Him, "Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"

⁵⁰

Jesus answered and said to him, "Because I said to you, 'I saw you under the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these."

⁵¹

And He said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man."
