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!"

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.

"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."
