Gospel Jn
1:35-42
John was standing with two of his disciples, and as he watched Jesus
walk by, he said, "Behold, the Lamb of God." The two disciples heard what he
said and followed Jesus. Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, "What
are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" - which translated means Teacher
-, "where are you staying?" He said to them, "Come, and you will see." So
they went and saw where Jesus was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It
was about four in the afternoon. Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one
of the two who heard John and followed Jesus. He first found his own brother Simon
and told him, "We have found the Messiah" - which is translated Christ -. Then
he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon the son
of John; you will be called Cephas" - which is translated Peter
