001:027 He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me,
whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen."
001:028 These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan,
where John was baptizing.
001:029 The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Behold,
the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
001:030 This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who is preferred
before me, for he was before me.'
001:031 I didn't know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water:
that he would be revealed to Israel."
001:032 John testified, saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending
like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
001:033 I didn't recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water,
he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Spirit descending,
and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizes in
the Holy Spirit.'
001:034 I have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God."
001:035 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
001:036 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Behold,
the Lamb of God!"
001:037 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
001:038 Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, "What are
you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which is to say,
being interpreted, Teacher), "where are you staying?"
001:039 He said to them, "Come, and see." They came and saw
where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day.
It was about the tenth hour.{4:00 PM.}
001:040 One of the two who heard John, and followed him,
was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
001:041 He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him,
"We have found the Messiah!" (which is, being interpreted,
Christ{"Messiah" (Hebrew) and "Christ" (Greek) both mean
"Anointed One".}).
001:042 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said,
"You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas"
(which is by interpretation, Peter).
001:043 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee,
and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, "Follow me."
001:044 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
001:045 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him,
of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote:
Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
001:046 Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out
of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
001:047 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Behold,
an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!"
001:048 Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him,
"Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree,
I saw you."
