John 1:42 In-Context

40 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard [this] from John and followed him.

41 He first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found the Messias (which being interpreted is Christ).

42 And he led him to Jesus. Jesus looking at him said, Thou art Simon, the son of Jonas; thou shalt be called Cephas (which interpreted is stone).

43 On the morrow he would go forth into Galilee, and Jesus finds Philip, and says to him, Follow me.

44 And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
