Jesus Calls His First Disciples

35 On the next day John was again standing with two of his disciples. 36 As Jesus walked by, John looked at him and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God.” 37 When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus. 38 Turning around, Jesus saw them following him and said to them, “What are you seeking?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which means “Teacher”), “where are yoʋ staying?” 39 He said to them, “[fn]Come and see.” So they went and saw where he was staying, and stayed with him that day; it was about the tenth hour. 40 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard this from John and followed Jesus. 41 Andrew first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means “Christ”), 42 and he brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “Yoʋ are Simon the son of [fn]Jonah; yoʋ shall be called Cephas” (which means “Peter”).
