Then Jesus turned and saw them following him, and said, "What do you want?" They replied, "Rabbi" (which may be translated 'Teacher'), "where are you staying?" He said to them, "Come, and you shall see." So they went and saw where he was staying, and spent that day with him. It was then about four o'clock in the afternoon. One of the two men who heard what John said and followed Jesus, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter. In the morning he found his brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (a word which means Christ, the Anointed One). He brought him to Jesus.

Then Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found him about whom Moses wrote in the Law, as did the prophets??esus of Nazareth, Joseph's son." And Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see." Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, and said, "Behold a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit." "How do you know me?" asked Nathanael.

Believe me," he added, "you all shall see heaven opened wide, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man."
