36. He saw Jesus walking by and said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
37. The two followers heard John say this. So they followed Jesus.
38. Jesus turned and saw them following him. He asked, “What do you want?”They said, “Rabbi, where are you staying?” (“Rabbi” means “Teacher.”)
39. Jesus answered, “Come with me and you will see.” So the two men went with Jesus. They saw the place where Jesus was staying and stayed there with him that day. It was then about four o’clock.
40. These two men followed Jesus after they heard about him from John. One of the men was Andrew. He was Simon Peter’s brother.
41. The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother, Simon. He said to Simon, “We have found the Messiah.” (“Messiah” means “Christ.”)
42. Then Andrew took Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at Simon and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas.” (“Cephas” means “Peter.”)
43. The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.”
