John 1:29-51

Darby Translation

²⁹ On the morrow he sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.

³⁰ He it is of whom I said, A man comes after me who takes a place before me, because he *was* before me;

³¹ and I knew him not; but that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore have I come baptising with water.

³² And John bore witness, saying, I beheld the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him.

³³ And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptise with water, *he* said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is who baptises with [the] Holy Spirit.

³⁴ And I have seen and borne witness that this is the Son of God.

³⁵ Again, on the morrow, there stood John and two of his disciples.

³⁶ And, looking at Jesus as he walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God.

³⁷ And the two disciples heard him speaking, and followed Jesus.

³⁸ But Jesus having turned, and seeing them following, says to them, What seek ye? And *they* said to him, Rabbi (which, being interpreted, signifies Teacher), where abidest thou?

³⁹ He says to them, Come and see. They went therefore, and saw where he abode; and they abode 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 him.

⁴¹ He first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found the Messias (which being interpreted is Christ).

⁴² And he led him to Jesus. Jesus looking at him said, Thou art Simon, the son of Jonas; thou shalt be called Cephas (which interpreted is stone).

⁴³ On the morrow he would go forth into Galilee, and Jesus finds Philip, and says to him, Follow me.

⁴⁴ And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.

⁴⁵ Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him, We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, Jesus, the son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth.

⁴⁶ And Nathanael said to him, Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Philip says to him, Come and see.

⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says of him, Behold [one] truly an Israelite, in whom there is no guile.

⁴⁸ Nathanael says to him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel.

⁵⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? Thou shalt see greater things than these.

⁵¹ And he says to him, Verily, verily, I say to you, Henceforth ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of man.
