37. The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Yeshua.
38. Yeshua turned around and saw them following. He said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which is translated Teacher), “where are you staying?”
39. “Come and see,” Yeshua tells them. So they came and saw where He was staying, and they spent that day with Him. It was about the tenth hour.
40. Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard John speak and followed Yeshua.
41. First he finds his own brother Simon and tells him, “We’ve found the Messiah!” (which is translated Anointed One).
42. Andrew brought Simon to Yeshua. Yeshua looked at him and said, “You are Simon, son of John. You shall be called Kefa (which is translated Peter).”
43. The next day, Yeshua decided to go to the Galilee. He finds Philip and says to him, “Follow Me!”
44. Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.
45. Philip finds Nathanael and tells him, “We’ve found the One that Moses in the Torah, and also the prophets, wrote about—Yeshua of Natzeret, the son of Joseph!”
46. “Natzeret!” Nathanael answered. “Can anything good come from there?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
47. Yeshua saw Nathanael coming toward Him. He said, “Look, a true Israelite! There’s nothing false in him.”
48. Nathanael said to Him, “How do you know me?” Yeshua answered, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
49. “Rabbi,” Nathanael answered, “You are Ben-Elohim! You are the King of Israel!”
50. “Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, you believe?” Yeshua replied to him. “You will see greater things than that!”
51. And He said, “Amen, amen I tell you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God going up and coming down on the Son of Man!”
