^40 (A)One of the two who heard John speak and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. ⁴¹ He first *found his own brother Simon and *said to him, “We have found the ^(B)Messiah” (which translated means ^[a]Christ). ⁴² He brought him to Jesus. When Jesus looked at him, He said, “You are Simon the son of ^(C)John; you shall be called ^(D)Cephas” (which is translated ^[b](E)Peter).

^43 (F)On the next day, He desired to go into ^(G)Galilee, and He *found ^(H)Philip. And Jesus *said to him, “^(I)Follow Me.” ⁴⁴ Now ^(J)Philip was from ^(K)Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. ^45 (L)Philip *found ^(M)Nathanael and *said to him, “We have found Him of whom ^(N)Moses in the Law and also ^(O)the Prophets wrote—Jesus of ^(P)Nazareth, ^(Q)the son of Joseph.” ⁴⁶ And Nathanael said to him, “^(R)Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” ^(S)Philip *said to him, “Come and see.” ⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and *said about him, “Behold, truly an ^(T)Israelite in whom there is no deceit!” ⁴⁸ Nathanael *said to Him, “From where do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before ^(U)Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” ⁴⁹ Nathanael answered Him, “^(V)Rabbi, You are ^(W)the Son of God; You are the ^(X)King of Israel.”
