35 The next day John was standing again with two of his disciples.
|
35 The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.
|
|
36 When he saw Jesus walking along he said, "Look! The Lamb of God!"
|
36 When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, "Look, the Lamb of God!"
|
|
37 The two disciples heard what he said, and they followed Jesus.
|
37 When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.
|
|
38 When Jesus turned and saw them following, he asked, "What are you looking for?" They said, "Rabbi (which is translated Teacher), where are you staying?"
|
38 Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, "What do you want?" They said, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?"
|
|
39 He replied, "Come and see." So they went and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon.
|
39 "Come," he replied, "and you will see." So they went and saw where he was staying, and spent that day with him. It was about the tenth hour.
|
|
40 One of the two disciples who heard what John said and followed Jesus was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
|
40 Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus.
|
|
41 He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which is translated Christ ).
|
41 The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, "We have found the Messiah" (that is, the Christ).
|
|
42 He led him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon, son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which is translated Peter).
|
42 And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which, when translated, is Peter ).
|
|
43 The next day Jesus wanted to go into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him,
|
43 The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, "Follow me."
|
|
44 "Follow me."Philip was from Bethsaida, the hometown of Andrew and Peter.
|
44 Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida.
|
|
45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law and the Prophets: Jesus, Joseph's son, from Nazareth."
|
45 Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote--Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
|
|
46 Nathanael responded, "Can anything from Nazareth be good?" Philip said, "Come and see."
|
46 "Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?" Nathanael asked. "Come and see," said Philip.
|
|
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said about him, "Here is a genuine Israelite in whom there is no deceit."
|
47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, "Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is nothing false."
|
|
48 Nathanael asked him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered, "Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree."
|
48 "How do you know me?" Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, "I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you."
|
|
49 Nathanael replied, "Rabbi, you are God's Son. You are the king of Israel."
|
49 Then Nathanael declared, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel."
|
|
50 Jesus answered, "Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these!
|
50 Jesus said, "You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You shall see greater things than that."
|
|
51 I assure you that you will see heaven open and God's angels going up to heaven and down to earth on the Human One."
|
51 He then added, "I tell you the truth, you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
