40. Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard John and followed him.
41. This one first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is translated “Christ”).
42. He brought him to Jesus. Looking at him, Jesus said, “You are Simon the son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is interpreted “Peter”).
43. On the next day he wanted to depart for Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, “Follow me!”
44. (Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the town of Andrew and Peter.)
45. Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found the one whom Moses wrote about in the law, and the prophets wrote about—Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth!”
46. And Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see!”
47. Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said about him, “Look! A true Israelite in whom is no deceit!”
