40 Andrew,(A) Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John and followed Him. 41 He first found his own brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah!”(a)(B) (which means “Anointed(C) One”), 42 and he brought Simon to Jesus.

When Jesus saw him, He said, “You are Simon, son of John.(b) You will be called Cephas”(D) (which means “Rock”).

Footnotes:

a. John 1:41: In the NT, the word Messiah translates the Gk word Christos (“Anointed One”), except here and in Jn 4:25 where it translates Messias.
b. John 1:42: Other mss read Simon, son of Jonah
