John 1:33-45 Amplified Bible (AMP)

33. And I did not know Him nor recognize Him, but He Who sent me to baptize in (with) water said to me, Upon Him Whom you shall see the Spirit descend and remain, that One is He Who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.

34. And I have seen [that happen–I actually did see it] and my testimony is that this is the Son of God!

35. Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples,

36. And he looked at Jesus as He walked along, and said, Look! There is the Lamb of God!

37. The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Him.

38. But Jesus turned, and as He saw them following Him, He said to them, What are you looking for? [And what is it you wish?] And they answered Him, Rabbi–which translated is Teacher–where are You staying?

39. He said to them, Come and see. So they went and saw where He was staying, and they remained with Him that day. It was then about the tenth hour (about four o'clock in the afternoon).

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

41. He first sought out and found his own brother Simon and said to him, We have found (discovered) the Messiah!–which translated is the Christ (the Anointed One).

42. Andrew then led (brought) Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, You are Simon son of John. You shall be called Cephas–which translated is Peter [Stone].

43. The next day Jesus desired and decided to go into Galilee; and He found Philip and said to him, Join Me as My attendant and follow Me.

44. Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the same city as Andrew and Peter.

45. Philip sought and found Nathanael and told him, We have found (discovered) the One Moses in the Law and also the Prophets wrote about–Jesus from Nazareth, the [legal] son of Joseph!
