They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?" <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/1-39.htm"><b>39</b></a></span>He said to them, "Come, and you will see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four in the afternoon. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/1-40.htm"><b>40</b></a></span>One of the two who heard John, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/1-41.htm"><b>41</b></a></span>He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah."

And Jesus said to him, "Follow me." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/1-44.htm"><b>44</b></a></span>Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/1-45.htm"><b>45</b></a></span>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." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/1-46.htm"><b>46</b></a></span>And Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/1-47.htm"><b>47</b></a></span>Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/1-48.htm"><b>48</b></a></span>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." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/1-49.htm"><b>49</b></a></span>Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are King of Israel." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/1-50.htm"><b>50</b></a></span>Jesus answered him, "Because I told you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/1-51.htm"><b>51</b></a></span>And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."<p></div></div><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div align="center"><a href="//nheb.net/">New Heart English Bible</a><br />Edited by Wayne A.
