Jesus Calls the First Disciples

John 1

35 Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples, 36 And he looked at Jesus as He walked along, and said, Look! There is the Lamb of God! 37 The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Him. 38 But Jesus turned, and as He saw them following Him, He said to them, What are you looking for? [And what is it you wish?] And they answered Him, Rabbi--which translated is Teacher--where are You staying? 39 He said to them, Come and see. So they went and saw where He was staying, and they remained with Him 1 that day. It was then about the tenth hour (about four o'clock in the afternoon). 40 One of the two who heard what John said and followed Jesus was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41 He first sought out and found his own brother Simon and said to him, We have found (discovered) the Messiah!--which translated is the Christ (the Anointed One). 42 Andrew then led (brought) Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, You are Simon son of John. You shall be called Cephas--which translated is Peter [Stone].
