Again the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples. And looking on Jesus as he walked, he said: Be hold the Lamb of God. And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. read more.
And Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them: What do you seek? They said to him: Rabbi, (which, when translated, is called Teacher,) where abidest thou? He said to them: Come and see. They went and saw where he abode; and they remained with him that day; for it was about the tenth hour. One of the two that heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter. He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him: We have found the Messiah; (which, when translated, is the Christ;) and he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looking on him, said: You are Simon, the son of Jonah; you shall be called Cephas (which, when translated, is Rock). The day following, Jesus wished to go into Galilee; and he found Philip, and said to him: Follow me. Now, Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathaniel, and said to him: We have found him of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the SOD of Joseph. And Nathaniel said to him: Can any thing good come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him: Come and see. Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him, and said of him: Be hold, an Israelite in truth, in whom there is no guile. Nathaniel said to him: How knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him: Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig-tree, I saw you. Nathaniel answered and said to him: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. Jesus answered and said to him: Do you believe, be cause I said to you, I saw you under the fig-tree? You shall see greater things than these. And he said to him: Verily, verily I say to you, From this time you shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
