Jn 1:29-51

  • John recognized Jesus as Lamb of God and Son of God
    • testified for Jesus
    • but later in life also doubted (Lk 7:19);
  • Jesus calls Disciples
    • 2 of John's disciples followed Jesus (to see where he lived)
      • one was Andrew, brother of Peter
        • the first thing he did--he went to Peter and said
          • we have found the Messiah
        • and led him to Jesus
          • Jesus gave Peter the name (he was named Simon)
      • the other one is not mentioned...
    • Philip
      • from Bethsaida
      • same as Peter and Andrew
    • Philip found Nathanael
      • told him that the one prophesied was Jesus of Nazareth
      • Nathanael despise people of Nazareth
      • come and see, said Philip
      • Jesus said Nathanael was a true Israelite, nothing is false in him
      • Nathanael believed because Jesus saw him even before Philip found him;
