43:001:027 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

43:001:028 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

43:001:029 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

43:001:030 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.

43:001:031 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

43:001:032 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

43:001:033 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

43:001:034 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

43:001:035 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;

43:001:036 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!

43:001:037 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

43:001:038 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?

43:001:039 He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.

43:001:040 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

43:001:041 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.

43:001:042 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.

43:001:043 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.

43:001:044 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

43:001:045 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

43:001:046 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.

43:001:047 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

43:001:048 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.

43:001:049 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

43:001:050 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.

43:001:051 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

43:002:001 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

43:002:002 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

43:002:003 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
