31 I myself did not recognize him; I only came to baptize with water, in order that he might be disclosed to Israel."
32 And John bore this testimony also: "I saw the Spirit descend like a dove from heaven and rest on him.
33 I myself did not recognize him, but He who sent me to baptize with water told me, 'He on whom you see the Spirit descending and resting, that is he who baptizes with the holy Spirit.'
34 Now I did see it, and I testify that he is the Son of God."
35 Next day again John was standing with two of his disciples;
36 he gazed at Jesus as he walked about, and said, "Look, there is the lamb of God!"
37 The two disciples heard what he said and went after Jesus.
38 Now Jesus turned, and when he observed them coming after him, he asked them, "What do you want?" They replied, "Rabbi" (which may be translated, 'teacher'), "where are you staying?"
39 He said to them, "Come and see." So they went and saw where he stayed, and stayed with him the rest of that day — it was then about four in the afternoon.
40 One of the two men who heard what John said and went after Jesus was Andrew, the brother of Peter.
41 In the morning he met his brother Simon and told him, "We have found the messiah" (which may be translated, 'Christ').
42 He took him to Jesus; Jesus gazed at him and said, "You are Simon, the son of John? Your name is to be Cephas" (meaning 'Peter' or 'rock').
43 Next day Jesus determined to leave for Galilee; there he met Philip and told him, "Follow me."
44 Now Philip belonged to Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter;
45 he met Nathanael and told him, "We have found him whom Moses wrote about in the Law, and also the prophets — it is Jesus, the son of Joseph, who comes from Nazaret."
46 "Nazaret!" said Nathanael, "can anything good come out of Nazaret?" "Come and see," said Philip.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael approaching and said of him, "Here is a genuine Israelite! There is no guile in him."
48 Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered, "When you were under that fig tree, before ever Philip called you, I saw you."
49 "Rabbi," said Nathanael, "you are the Son of God, you are the king of Israel!"
50 Jesus answered, "You believe because I told you I had seen you under that fig tree? You shall see more than that."
51 He said to him, "Truly, truly I tell you all, you shall see heaven open wide and God's angels ascending and descending upon the Son of man."
