The Gospel of John - Page 2

the one who sent me to
baptize told me, On whomever you see the Spirit descending and
remaining, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit. I saw Him, and
now witness that this is the Son of God.

The next day John and two of his disciples saw Jesus as He walked. John
said, Behold the Lamb of God! The two disciples heard John speak and
followed Jesus. Jesus turned, saw them following, and said to them,
What are you looking for? They said, Master, where are you staying? He
said to them, Come and see. It was about the tenth hour. They went and
saw where He stayed and spent the rest of that day with Him.

One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus was Andrew,
Simon Peter's brother. First he found his brother, Simon, and said to
him, We have found the Christ, and he brought him to Jesus. When Jesus
saw him He said, Thou art Simon the son of John. Thou shalt be called
Peter.

A day later, Jesus went into Galilee and found Philip. He said to him,
Follow me. Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Philip found Nathanael and said, We have found the one who Moses and
the prophets wrote about, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
Nathanael said, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip said to
him, Come and see.

Jesus saw Nathanael coming and said, Behold, an Israelite in whom there
is no guile! Nathanael said to Him, How do you know me? Jesus answered,
Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.
Nathanael answered and said to Him, Rabbi, Thou art the Son of God.
Thou art the King of Israel.

Jesus said, Because I said I saw you under the fig tree you believe?
You will see greater things than these. You will see heaven open and
the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man!

2. Three days later there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee. The
mother of Jesus was there. Jesus and His disciples were invited to the
marriage. When they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him,
They have no wine. Jesus said, But what am I to do? My hour is not yet
come. His mother said to the servants, Whatever He tells you to do, do
it.

There were six stone waterpots, used according to the manner of the
Jews for purifying. Jesus said to the servants, Fill the pots with
water. They filled them to the brim. Then He said to them, Draw out now
and carry them to the governor of the feast.

When the governor of the feast tasted the water that was made wine, he
called the bridegroom to him and said, At the beginning, every man sets
out the good wine, and, when men have drunk well, then he sets out the
lesser, but you have kept the good wine until now!

This beginning of miracles Jesus did in Cana of Galilee.
