John 1:35-42

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

John Points His Disciples To The Lamb of God. Andrew And Peter Find The Messiah

³⁵ On the next day John was again standing there, and two of his disciples. ³⁶ And having looked at Jesus walking, he says, “Look— the Lamb of God”. ³⁷ And the two disciples heard him speaking, and followed Jesus. ³⁸ And Jesus, having turned and seen them following, says to them, “What are you seeking?” And the ones said to Him, “Rabbi (which being translated means “Teacher”), where are You staying?” ³⁹ He says to them, “Come, and you will see”. So they went, and saw where He was staying, and stayed with Him that day. The hour was about the tenth^[a]. ⁴⁰ Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two having heard it from John, and having followed Him. ⁴¹ This one first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which being translated is “Christ”). ⁴² He brought him to Jesus. Having looked-at him, Jesus said, “You are Simon, the son of John. You will be called Cephas^[b]” (which is translated “Peter”).
