* The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him , and saith , Behold the Lamb of God , which taketh away the sin of the world . * This is he of whom I said , After me cometh a man which is preferred before me : for he was before me . * And I knew him not : but that he should be made manifest to Israel , therefore am I come baptizing with water . * And John bare record , saying , I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove , and it abode upon him . * And I knew him not : but he that sent me to baptize with water , the same said unto me , Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending , and remaining on him , the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost . * And I saw , and bare record that this is the Son of God . * Again the next day after John stood , and two of his disciples ; * And looking upon Jesus as he walked , he saith , Behold the Lamb of God ! * And the two disciples heard him speak , and they followed Jesus . * 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 ? * 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 . * One of the two which heard John speak , and followed him , was Andrew , Simon Peter 's brother . * He first findeth his own brother Simon , and saith unto him , We have found the Messias , which is , being interpreted , the Christ . * 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 . * The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee , and findeth Philip , and saith unto him , Follow me . * Now Philip was of Bethsaida , the city of Andrew and Peter . * 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 . * And Nathanael said unto him , Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth ? Philip saith unto him , Come and see . * Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him , and saith of him , Behold an Israelite indeed , in whom is no guile ! * 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 . * Nathanael answered and saith unto him , Rabbi , thou art the Son of God ; thou art the King of Israel . * 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 . * 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 .
