John 1:32-42 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

32. John testified saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him.

33. I did not recognize Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'

34. I myself have seen, and have testified 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, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"

37. The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

38. And Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, "What do you seek?" They said to Him, "Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are You staying?"

39. He said to them, "Come, and you will see." So they came and saw where He was staying; and they stayed with Him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.

40. One of the two who heard John speak and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

41. He found first his own brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which translated means Christ).

42. He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon the son of John; you shall be called Cephas" (which is translated Peter).
