These things passed at Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing. The next day John seeth Jesus coming towards him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world. read more. This is He of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who is preferred before me: for He was before me. And I knew Him not: but therefore came I baptizing with water, that He might be made known to Israel. And John testified saying, I saw the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven, and it abode upon Him. And I knew Him not: but He that sent me to baptize with water, said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on Him, the same is he that baptizeth with the Holy Spirit. And I saw it, and therefore testified that this is the Son of God. The day following John was standing, (and two of his disciples,) and looking upon Jesus as He was walking, he saith, "Behold the lamb of God." And when the two disciples heard what he said, they followed Jesus. And Jesus turning, and seeing them following Him, saith unto them, What do ye seek? They said unto Him, Rabbi (that is to say, Master,) where is thine abode? He saith unto them, Come and see. And they came and saw where He dwelt, and abode with Him that day: and it was about the tenth hour. Now Andrew the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two that heard what John said, and thereupon followed Jesus.

Now Andrew the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two that heard what John said, and thereupon followed Jesus. He first meeteth with his own brother Simon, and telleth him, "We have found the Messiah, which is to say, the Christ."

He first meeteth with his own brother Simon, and telleth him, "We have found the Messiah, which is to say, the Christ." And Andrew brought him to Jesus: and Jesus looking at him said, Thou art Simon the son of Jonas, thou shalt be called Cephas; which is interpreted a stone.

And Andrew brought him to Jesus: and Jesus looking at him said, Thou art Simon the son of Jonas, thou shalt be called Cephas; which is interpreted a stone. The day following Jesus had a mind to go out into Galilee, and meeting with Philip, saith unto him, Follow me. read more. Now Philip was of Bethsaida the city of Andrew and Peter.

Now Philip was of Bethsaida the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip meeting Nathaniel, saith unto him, We have found Him, of whom Moses in the law, and of whom the prophets also wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Jeseph.

Philip meeting Nathaniel, saith unto him, We have found Him, of whom Moses in the law, and of whom the prophets also wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Jeseph. And Nathaniel said unto him, Can any thing good come out of Nazareth? Philip replied, Come and see.

And Nathaniel said unto him, Can any thing good come out of Nazareth? Philip replied, Come and see. And when Jesus saw Nathaniel coming towards Him, He saith concerning him, "Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile." read more. Nathaniel saith unto Him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered him, Before Philip called thee, I saw thee, when under the fig-tree. Nathaniel replied, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the king of Israel. Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I told thee that I saw thee under the fig-tree, thou believest: thou shalt see greater things than these. And He saith unto him, Verily verily I say unto you, Ye shall hereafter see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

Then Jesus lifted up his eyes, and seeing a great multitude come to Him, saith to Philip, Whence shall we buy bread that these people may eat?

One of his disciples, to wit, Andrew the brother of Simon Peter,

that came to Philip who was of Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we have a desire to see Jesus. And Philip cometh and telleth Andrew, and then Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

These things said Esaias when he saw his glory, and spake concerning Him.

For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

Philip saith unto Him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long with you, and dost thou not know me? Philip, he that hath seen me, hath seen the Father: and how then dost thou say, Shew us the Father?

Now in those days, as the number of disciples increased, there rose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution. So the twelve called the multitude of the disciples to them and said, It is not seemly that we should leave the word of God and attend at tables. read more. Wherefore, brethren, look out from among you seven men of good character, full of the holy Spirit, and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this matter: but we will constantly attend to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. And the advice pleased the whole multitude, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith, and of the holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus a proselyte of Antioch. These they set before the apostles; who, when they had prayed, laid their hands upon them.

Now they that were dispersed went about preaching the word. And Philip coming to the city of Samaria, preached Christ unto them. read more. And the people unanimously attended to the things which were spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he wrought: for impure spirits crying with a loud voice came out of many that were possessed by them; and many paralytic and lame persons were cured. And there was great joy in that city.

And an angel of the Lord spake to Philip, saying, Arise and go southward to the way that leads down from Jerusalem to Gaza, which is desert. And he arose and went; and behold a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, and her high-treasurer, who had come to Jerusalem to worship, read more. was returning, and as he sat in his chariot, was reading the prophet Esaias: and the Spirit said to Philip, Go near and join thyself to this chariot. And Philip running up to him, heard him reading the prophet Esaias, and said, Dost thou understand what thou readest? And he said, How can I, unless some one guide me? and he desired Philip to come up and sit with him. And the portion of scripture, which he was reading, was this, "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before it's shearer is dumb, so He opened not his mouth: in his humiliation his judgement was taken away, and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken away from the earth." And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom doth the prophet say this? of himself, or of some other person? Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning at this scripture, preached unto him Jesus. And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water: and the eunuch said, See here is water, what hindereth me from being baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And he ordered the chariot to stop: and they both went down to the water, Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more: but went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was found at Azotus; and as he passed along, he preached the gospel in all the cities, till he came to Cesarea.

On the morrow Paul and those that were with him departed from Ptolemais, and came to Cesarea; and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven deacons, we stayed with him. And he had four daughters virgins, that were prophetesses.
