John 1:40-46 New International Version
40 Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. 41 The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (that is, the Christ).(A) 42 And he brought him to Jesus.
Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called(B) Cephas” (which, when translated, is Peter[a]).(C)
Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael
43 The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip,(D) he said to him, “Follow me.”(E)
44 Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida.(F) 45 Philip found Nathanael(G) and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law,(H) and about whom the prophets also wrote(I)—Jesus of Nazareth,(J) the son of Joseph.”(K)
46 “Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?”(L) Nathanael asked.
“Come and see,” said Philip.
