Old/New Testament
John Identifies Jesus As The Son of God Sent To Take Away The Sin of The World
29 On the next day he sees Jesus coming toward him. And he says, “Look— the Lamb of God, the One taking-away the sin of the world. 30 This One is the One about Whom I said, ‘A man is coming after me Who has become ahead of me, because He was before me’. 31 And I did not know Him. But I came baptizing with water for this reason— that He might be revealed to Israel”. 32 And John testified, saying that “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven. And He remained upon Him. 33 And I did not know Him. But the One having sent me to baptize with water, that One said to me, ‘Upon whomever you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him— this One is the One baptizing with[a] the Holy Spirit’. 34 And I have seen, and have testified that this One is the Son of God”.
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[b]. 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[c]” (which is translated “Peter”).
Jesus Finds Philip, Who Finds Nathanael. They Follow The Son of God, The King of Israel
43 On the next day He wanted[d] to go forth to Galilee. And He finds Philip. And Jesus says to him, “Be following Me”. 44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip finds Nathanael and says to him, “We have found the One of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and the Prophets wrote— Jesus, son of Joseph, from Nazareth”. 46 And Nathanael said to him, “Is anything good able to be out of Nazareth?” Philip says to him, “Come and see”. 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and says about him, “Look— truly an Israelite in whom there is no deceit”. 48 Nathanael says to Him, “From where do You know me?” Jesus responded and said to him, “Before Philip called you, while being[e] under the fig tree, I saw you”. 49 Nathanael responded to Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God. You are the King of Israel”. 50 Jesus responded and said to him, “Do[f] you believe because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these!” 51 And He says to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you[g] all, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man”.
