As Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers--Simon, also known as Peter, and his brother Andrew--casting a net into the Sea; for they were fishermen.

As soon as they had come out from the Synagogue, they went, with James and John, into the house of Simon and Andrew.

When Jesus had sat down on the Mount of Olives, facing the Temple, Peter, James, John and Andrew questioned him privately:

One of the two, who heard what John said and followed Jesus, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

"There is a boy here," said Andrew, another of his disciples, Simon Peter's brother,

Philip went and told Andrew, and then together they went and told Jesus.

When they reached Jerusalem, they went to the upstairs room, where they were staying. There were there Peter, John, James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.


One of the two, who heard what John said and followed Jesus, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

The next day, when John was standing with two of his disciples,


One of the two, who heard what John said and followed Jesus, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him: "We have found the Messiah!" (a word which means 'Christ,' or 'Consecrated'.) Then he brought him to Jesus. Fixing his eyes on him, Jesus said: "You are Simon, the son of John; you shall be called Kephas" (which means 'Peter,' or 'Rock').

But Jesus turned round, and saw them following. "What are you looking for?" he asked. "Rabbi," they answered (or, as we should say, "Teacher"), "where are you staying?" "Come, and you shall see," he replied. So they went, and saw where he was staying, and spent that day with him. It was then about four in the afternoon. One of the two, who heard what John said and followed Jesus, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him: "We have found the Messiah!"

Fixing his eyes on him, Jesus said: "You are Simon, the son of John; you shall be called Kephas" (which means 'Peter,' or 'Rock'). The following day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. He found Philip, and said to him: "Follow me." Philip was from Bethsaida, and a fellow-townsman of Andrew and Peter. He found Nathanael and said to him: "We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and of whom the Prophets also wrote--Jesus of Nazareth, Joseph's son!" "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" asked Nathanael. "Come and see," replied Philip. When Jesus saw Nathanael coming towards him, he said: "Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit!" "How do you know me?" asked Nathanael. "Even before Philip called you," replied Jesus, "when you were under the fig tree, I saw you." "Rabbi," Nathanael exclaimed, "you are the Son of God, you are King of Israel!" "Do you believe in me," asked Jesus, "because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You shall see greater things than those! In truth I tell you," he added, "you shall all see Heaven open, and 'the angels of God ascending and descending' upon the Son of Man."


The whole of Judea, as well as all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, went out to him; and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

Then, while the people were in suspense, and were all debating with themselves whether John could be the Christ,

At that time Jerusalem, and all Judea, as well as the whole district of the Jordan, went out to him And were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

Yet, though Herod wanted to put him to death, he was afraid of the people, because they looked on John as a Prophet.

For when John came to you, walking in the path of righteousness, you did not believe him, but tax-gatherers and prostitutes did; and yet you, though you saw this, even then were not sorry, nor did you believe him.

Yet can we say 'human'?"--They were afraid of the people, for everyone regarded John as undoubtedly a Prophet.

And John said to the crowds that went to be baptized by him: "You brood of vipers! who has prompted you to seek refuge from the coming judgment?

But, if we say 'human,' the people will all stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a Prophet."

The next day, when John was standing with two of his disciples, He looked at Jesus as he passed and exclaimed: "There is the Lamb of God!" The two disciples heard him say this, and followed Jesus. read more.
