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. Jesus looked intently at him and said: "You are Simon, son of John; you shall be called Cephas" (or 'Peter,' which means 'Rock'). Next day Jesus decided to go into Galilee; and he found Philip and said to him, "Follow me." Now Philip belonged to Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter. 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. "Before Philip called you," replied Jesus, "when you were under the fig tree, I saw you." "Rabbi," answered Nathanael, "you are the Son of God; you are King of Israel." Jesus said in reply. "Do you believe because I said to you, 'I saw you under the fig tree?' You shall see greater things than that! Believe me," he added, "you all shall see heaven opened wide, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man."

John » His influence upon the public mind
and all the land of Judea, and all the people of Jerusalem, kept going out to him, and were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.
And while the people were in expectation, and all men were debating in their hearts about John,
Then Jerusalem began to go out to him, and all Judea, and the whole neighborhood of the Jordan, and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
And although he wished to kill John, he feared the people, for they considered John a prophet.
"For John came to you in the road of righteousness, and you did not give credence to him; but the tax-gatherers and the harlots gave credence to him. But you, although you saw this, did not even then change your minds and give credence to him.
On the other hand, if we say, 'From men'!" They were afraid, however, of the people, for every one held that John had been really a prophet.
So John used to say to the crowd of those who were going out to be baptized by him. "You breed of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
"And if we say, 'From man,' all the people will stone us, for they were persuaded that John was a prophet."
Next day again, John was standing with two of his disciples. After gazing intently on Jesus as he walked about, he said, "Look! that is the Lamb of God!" The two disciples heard his exclamation, and they followed Jesus. read more.
