34. I have seen it happen. I give witness that this is the Son of God."
35. The next day John was again with two of his disciples.
36. He saw Jesus walking by. John said, "Look! The Lamb of God!"
37. The two disciples heard him say this. So they followed Jesus.
38. Then Jesus turned around and saw them following. He asked, "What do you want?" They said, "Rabbi, where are you staying?" Rabbi means Teacher.
39. "Come," he replied. "You will see." So they went and saw where he was staying. They spent the rest of the day with him. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon.
40. Andrew was Simon Peter's brother. Andrew was one of the two disciples who heard what John had said. He had also followed Jesus.
41. The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon. He told him, "We have found the Messiah." Messiah means Christ.
42. And he brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon, son of John. You will be called Cephas." Cephas means Peter (or rock).
43. The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, "Follow me."
44. Philip was from the town of Bethsaida. So were Andrew and Peter.
45. Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the One that Moses wrote about in the Law. The prophets also wrote about him. He is Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
