John - ch 1 v 41 - 51
- He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah!" (which is, being interpreted, Christ1).
- He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas" (which is by interpretation, Peter).
- On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, "Follow me."
- Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
- Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
- Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
- Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!"
- Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
- Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!"
- Jesus answered him, "Because I told you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these!"
- He said to him, "Most certainly, I tell you, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
- "Messiah" (Hebrew) and "Christ" (Greek) both mean "Anointed One".
