John 1:37–45
37The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.↗
38Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them,“What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), “where are you staying?”↗
39He said to them,“Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.↗
40One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.↗
41He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ ).↗
42He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said,“You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas”(which is by interpretation, Peter).↗
43On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him,“Follow me.”↗
44Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.↗
45Philip 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.”↗
