Jesus Gathers His First Disciples

35

The next day, Iohn stoode againe, and two of his disciples.

36

And he behelde Iesus walking by, and said, Beholde that Lambe of God.

37

And the two disciples heard him speake, and followed Iesus.

38

Then Iesus turned about, and saw them follow, and saide vnto them, What seeke ye? And they saide vnto him, Rabbi (which is to say by interpretation, Master) where dwellest thou?

39

He saide vnto them, Come, and see. They came and sawe where hee dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth houre.

40

Andrew, Simon Peters brother, was one of the two which had heard it of Iohn, and that followed him.

41

The same founde his brother Simon first, and said vnto him, We haue founde that Messias, which is by interpretation, that Christ.

42

And he brought him to Iesus. And Iesus behelde him, and saide, Thou art Simon the sonne of Iona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, a stone.

43

The day following, Iesus woulde goe into Galile, and founde Philip, and said vnto him, Followe me.

44

Nowe Philip was of Bethsaida, the citie of Andrew and Peter.

45

Philippe founde Nathanael, and saide vnto him, Wee haue founde him of whom Moses did write in the Lawe, and the Prophetes, Iesus that sonne of Ioseph, that was of Nazareth.

46

Then Nathanael sayde vnto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saide to him, Come, and see.

47

Iesus sawe Nathanael comming to him, and saide of him, Beholde in deede an Israelite, in whom is no guile.

48

Nathanael sayde vnto him, Whence knewest thou mee? Iesus answered, and sayd vnto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast vnder the figge tree, I sawe thee.

49

Nathanael answered, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, thou art that Sonne of God: thou art that King of Israel.

50

Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him, Because I sayde vnto thee, I sawe thee vnder the figtree, beleeuest thou? thou shalt see greater things then these.

51

And he saide vnto him, Verely, verely I say vnto you, hereafter shall yee see heauen open, and the Angels of God ascending, and descending vpon that Sonne of man.
