He said to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where He was staying, and remained with Him that day (now 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 first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which is translated, the Christ).
42
And he brought him to Jesus. Now when Jesus looked at him, He said, "You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas" (which is translated, A Stone).
43
The following day Jesus wanted to go to Galilee, and He found Philip and said to him, "Follow Me."
44
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
45
Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found Him of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote--Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
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 of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!"
48
Nathanael said to Him, "How do You know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
49
Nathanael answered and said to Him, "Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"
