The Word of God is Life to those who find them and health to all their flesh. . . . . . Prov 4:22
and Nathanael said to him, 'Out of Nazareth is any good thing able to be?' Philip said to him, 'Come and see.'
Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, 'Him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and the prophets, we have found, Jesus the son of Joseph, who [is] from Nazareth;'
And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter;
On the morrow, he willed to go forth to Galilee, and he findeth Philip, and saith to him, 'Be following me.'
and he brought him unto Jesus: and having looked upon him, Jesus saith, 'Thou art Simon, the son of Jonas, thou shalt be called Cephas.' (which is interpreted, A rock.)
Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard from John, and followed him;
this one doth first find his own brother Simon, and saith to him, `We have found the Messiah,' (which is, being interpreted, The Anointed,)
He [Jesus] saith to them, 'Come and see;' they came, and saw where he doth remain, and with him they remained that day and the hour was about the tenth.
And Jesus having turned, and having beheld them following, saith to them, 'What seek ye?' and they said to them, 'Rabbi, (which is, being interpreted, Teacher,) where remainest thou?'
On the morrow, again, John was standing,
and two of his disciples, and having looked
on Jesus walking, he saith, 'Lo, the Lamb of God;'
and the two disciples heard him speaking, and
they followed Jesus.
and I have see, and have testified, that this is the Son of God.
and I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, He said to me, On whomsoever thou mayest see the Spirit coming down, and remaining on him, this is he who is baptizing with the Holy Spirit;
And John testified, saying, 'I have seen the Spirit coming down, as a dove, out of heaven, and it remained on him;
and I knew him not, but that he might be manifested to Israel, because of this I came with the water baptizing.
this is he concerning whom I said, After me doth come a man, who hath come before me, because he was before me:
on the morrow John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, 'Lo, the Lamb of God, who is taking away the sin of the world;
These things came to pass in Bethabara, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing,
John answered them, saying, 'I baptize with water, but in midst of you he hath stood whom ye have not known, this one it is who is coming after me, who hath been before me, of whom I am not worthy that I may loose the cord of his sandal.'
And those sent were of the Pharisees,
and they questioned him and said to him,
"Why, then, dost thou baptize, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?"
He said, 'I [am] a voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.
They said then to him, 'Who art thou, that we may give an answer to those sending us? what dost thou say concerning thyself?'
And they questioned him [John the Baptist], 'What then? Elijah art thou?' and he saith, 'I am not.' 'The prophet art thou?' and he answered, 'No.'
and he, John the Baptist, confessed and did not deny, and confessed, "I am not the Christ."
