John 1:26-51
New American Standard Bible
26 John answered them, saying, “(A)I baptize [a]in water, but among you stands One whom you do not know. 27 It is (B)He who comes after me, of whom I am not worthy even to untie the (C)strap of His sandal.” 28 These things took place in Bethany (D)beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing people.
29 The next day he *saw Jesus coming to him, and *said, “Behold, (E)the Lamb of God who (F)takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is He in behalf of whom I said, ‘(G)After me is coming a Man who has proved to be [b]my superior, (H)because He existed before me.’ 31 And I did not recognize [c]Him, but so that He would be revealed to Israel, I came baptizing [d]in water.” 32 And John (I)testified, saying, “(J)I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him. 33 And I did not recognize [e]Him, but He who sent me to baptize [f]in water said to me, ‘He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, (K)this is the One who baptizes [g]in the Holy Spirit.’ 34 And I myself have seen, and have testified that this is (L)the [h]Son of God.”
Jesus’ Public Ministry; First Converts
35 Again (M)the next day John was standing [i]with two of his disciples, 36 and he looked at Jesus as He walked, and *said, “Behold, (N)the Lamb of God!” 37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 And Jesus turned and saw them following, and *said to them, “What are you seeking?” They said to Him, “(O)Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are You staying?” 39 He *said to them, “Come, and you will see.” So they came and saw where He was staying, and they stayed with Him that day; it was about the [j]tenth hour. 40 (P)One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 41 He first *found his own brother Simon and *said to him, “We have found the (Q)Messiah” (which translated means [k]Christ). 42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of [l](R)John; you shall be called (S)Cephas” (which is translated [m](T)Peter).
43 (U)The next day He [n]decided to go to (V)Galilee, and He *found (W)Philip. And Jesus *said to him, “(X)Follow Me.” 44 Now (Y)Philip was from (Z)Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 (AA)Philip *found (AB)Nathanael and *said to him, “We have found Him of whom (AC)Moses wrote in the Law, and (AD)the prophets also wrote: Jesus (AE)the son of Joseph, from (AF)Nazareth!” 46 Nathanael said to him, “(AG)Can anything good be from Nazareth?” (AH)Philip *said to him, “Come and see.” 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and *said of him, “Here is truly an (AI)Israelite, in whom there is no deceit!” 48 Nathanael *said to Him, “How do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before (AJ)Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” 49 Nathanael answered Him, “(AK)Rabbi, You are (AL)the Son of God; You are the (AM)King of Israel!” 50 Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” 51 And He *said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see (AN)heaven opened and (AO)the angels of God ascending and descending on (AP)the Son of Man.”
