35 Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples,
36 and he looked at Jesus as He walked, and said, |Behold, the Lamb of God!|
37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 And Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, |What do you seek?| They said to Him, |Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are You staying?|
39 He said to them, |Come, and you will see.| So they came and saw where He was staying; and they stayed with Him that day, for 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 found first his own brother Simon and said to him, |We have found the Messiah| (which translated means Christ).
42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, |You are Simon the son of John; you shall be called Cephas| (which is translated Peter).
43 The next day He purposed to go into Galilee, and He found Philip. And Jesus said to him, |Follow Me.|
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of 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 Nathanael said to him, |Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?| Philip said to him, |Come and see.|
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and said of him, |Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there 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 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 that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these.|
51 And He said to him, |Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.|
