John 1:40 Meaning and Commentary

John 1:40

One of the two which heard John [speak]
The above things, concerning Jesus being the Lamb of God:

and followed him;
that is, Jesus, as the Syriac and Arabic versions read; and the Persic version, Christ: and the Ethiopic version, "the Lord Jesus"; for not John, but Jesus they followed:

was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother:
see ( Matthew 4:18 ) the other, as before observed, might be the writer of this Gospel.

John 1:40 In-Context

38 Yeshua turned and saw them following him, and he asked them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi!" (which means "Teacher!") "Where are you staying?"

39 He said to them, "Come and see." So they went and saw where he was staying, and remained with him the rest of the day -- it was about four o'clock in the afternoon.

40 One of the two who had heard Yochanan and had followed Yeshua was Andrew the brother of Shim`on Kefa.

41 The first thing he did was to find his brother Shim`on and tell him, "We've found the Mashiach!" (The word means "one who has been anointed.")

42 He took him to Yeshua. Looking at him, Yeshua said, "You are Shim`on Bar-Yochanan; you will be known as Kefa." (The name means "rock.")
