Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:35–42: Jesus chose his first disciples

This section tells about some of Jesus’ first disciples. Two of John the Baptist’s disciples started to follow Jesus after John told them that he was the Lamb of God. One of them was Andrew and he brought his brother Simon to meet Jesus. Jesus told Simon that his new name would be Peter.

Here are other possible section headings:

The first disciples began to follow Jesus

A few men began to follow Jesus

Jesus’ first disciples/followers

Paragraph 1:40–42

This paragraph tells how Andrew and Simon Peter became disciples of Jesus. Peter is one of the more important characters in the Gospel of John. Introduce him as you introduce an important character in a story.

1:40a

Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother,

¶ Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter,
¶ There was a man named Andrew. (He was the brother of Simon Peter.)

1:40b

was one of the two who heard John’s testimony and followed Jesus.

was one of the two men who had heard what John said and had followed Jesus.
He was one of these/those two disciples who listened to John and followed Jesus.

1:40a–b

Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother: Andrew may have been younger than or older than Simon Peter. We do not know. But Simon Peter was the better known among the Christians for whom John was writing. At the time of this story, Jesus had not yet given Simon the name Peter. The mention of Simon Peter here is therefore parenthetical and it may be natural to place it in parentheses:

Andrew (Simon Peter’s brother)

In some languages you may need to include a verb. At the time when John wrote this Gospel, it is probable that both Andrew and Peter were dead. So it is best to use the past tense:

Andrew, who was Simon Peter’s brother

Simon Peter’s: Simon Peter was one of Jesus’ closest disciples. He later became a major leader in the early church. He is also known for denying Jesus when he was arrested. His original name was Simon. In 1:42, Jesus said that he would be called Cephas, which is Peter in Greek. If people will think that Peter is Simon’s last name, you may want to make it clear that both names are used as his first name. For example:

the brother of Simon, who was also called Peter

one of the two who heard John’s testimony and followed Jesus: Two disciples of John the Baptist had begun following Jesus (1:35–39). In some languages it is more natural to include what John the Baptist had said. For example:

one of the two men who heard John speak about Jesus and followed Jesus

one of the two who began following Jesus when they heard John call Jesus the Lamb of God
