II. The Presentation of Christ to John's Disciples........................ 1:35-51
Joh 1:35
Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;Joh 1:36
And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!Joh 1:37
And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.Joh 1:38
Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?Joh 1:39
He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.Joh 1:40
One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.Joh 1:41
He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.Joh 1:42
And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.Joh 1:43
The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.Joh 1:44
Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.Joh 1:45
Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.Joh 1:46
And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.Joh 1:47
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!Joh 1:48
Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.Joh 1:49
Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.Joh 1:50
Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.Joh 1:51
And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
