John 1:35-42
(1) John 1:35-42
/1:35/ The next day John again was standing with two of his disciples, /1:36/ and as he watched Jesus walk by, he exclaimed, "Look, here is the Lamb of God!" /1:37/ The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. /1:38/ When Jesus turned and saw them following, he said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?" /1:39/ He said to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon. /1:40/ One of the two who heard John speak and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. /1:41/ He first found his brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which is translated Anointed). /1:42/ He brought Simon to Jesus, who looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John. You are to be called Cephas" (which is translated Peter).
