39 Jesus said, "Come and see."

They went and saw the place where Jesus was staying. The time was about four o'clock in the afternoon. They stayed with Jesus the rest of the day. 40 Andrew was one of those two followers of John who heard John speak and went after Jesus. He was Simon Peter's brother. 41 The first thing Andrew did then was to find his brother Simon. He said, "We have found the Messiah!" (Messiah means the Christ, the messenger of God.) 42 Andrew brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon, the son of John. Your name will be Cephas." (Cephas means Peter, a rock or stone.) 43 The next day Jesus said, "I will go to Galilee."

He found Philip and said to him, "Come with me."

44 Philip was from the town of Bethsaida. Andrew and Peter were also from that town. 45 Philip went to find Nathanael. He said "We have found the man about whom Moses wrote in the books of the law. The prophets also wrote about him. He is Jesus, from Nazareth. He is the son of Joseph." 46 Nathanael said, "From Nazareth? Can any good thing come from there?"

Philip said, "Come and see for yourself."
