ptising with water. (32)And John bore
witness, saying, I saw the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and
it rested upon him. (33)And I did not know him: but he that sent me
baptising with water, he said to me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the
Spirit descending as a dove, and resting upon him, that is he who
baptiseth with the Holy Ghost. (34)And I have seen it, and have borne
testimony that this is the Son of God.
(35)On the morrow John was again standing with two of his disciples;
(36)and looking upon Jesus as he walked by, he saith, Behold the Lamb
of God! (37)And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed
Jesus. (38)Then Jesus turned about, and seeing them following, saith to
them, What are ye seeking? They said unto him, Rabbi (which signifies,
when translated, Master), where is thy abode? (39)He saith unto them,
Come and see. They came and saw where he abode, and continued with him
that day: and it was about the tenth hour.
(40)One of the two, who had heard from John mention of Jesus, and had
followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. (41)He first finds his
own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah (which
is, being translated, the Christ). (42)And he brought him to Jesus.
Then Jesus looking on him, said, Thou art Simon the son of Jonas: thou
shalt be called Cephas, which, interpreted _in Greek_, is Petros, a
Rock.
(43)The next day Jesus resolved to go into Galilee, and he findeth
Philip, and saith to him, Follow me. (44)Now Philip was of Bethsaida,
the city of Andrew and Peter. (45)Philip findeth Nathaniel, and saith
to him, We have found him whom Moses in the law has described, and the
prophets, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is of Nazareth. (46)And
Nathaniel said to him, Can any thing good come out of Nazareth? Philip
saith to him, Come and see. (47)Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him, and
saith of him, Behold an Israelite in reality, in whom there is no
guile! (48)Nathaniel saith unto him, From whence canst thou know me?
Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou
wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee. (49)Nathaniel answered and said to
him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the king of Israel.
(50)Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said to thee, I saw
thee under the fig-tree, dost thou believe? thou shalt see greater
things than these. (51)And he saith to him, Verily, verily, I tell you,
From henceforth ye shall see heaven op
