I knew Him
not, only that He would be made manifest to Israel. Therefore I came
baptizing with water.
John bore record saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a
dove and remain on Him. I knew Him not except the one who sent me to
baptize told me, On whomever you see the Spirit descending and
remaining, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit. I saw Him, and
now witness that this is the Son of God.
The next day John and two of his disciples saw Jesus as He walked. John
said, Behold the Lamb of God! The two disciples heard John speak and
followed Jesus. Jesus turned, saw them following, and said to them,
What are you looking for? They said, Master, where are you staying? He
said to them, Come and see. It was about the tenth hour. They went and
saw where He stayed and spent the rest of that day with Him.
One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus was Andrew,
Simon Peter's brother. First he found his brother, Simon, and said to
him, We have found the Christ, and he brought him to Jesus. When Jesus
saw him He said, Thou art Simon the son of John. Thou shalt be called
Peter.
A day later, Jesus went into Galilee and found Philip. He said to him,
Follow me. Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Philip found Nathanael and said, We have found the one who Moses and
the prophets wrote about, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
