Andrew and Peter

The day after John had proclaimed Jesus as the Lamb of God, John was again near Bethany across the Jordan. And he was with two of his disciples when he saw Jesus walking by. John said, “Look! The Lamb of God!” When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.

Jesus turned and saw them following. “What do you want?” He asked.

They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are You staying?”

“Come and see,” He replied. So, they went and saw where He was staying. It was about the tenth hour (By Roman timekeeping, the tenth hour would be 10 am.). And the two spent that day with Jesus. 

Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John’s testimony and followed Jesus. Andrew first found his brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah” (Now, in Hebrew, the word for "Anointed" is Messiah, in Greek, the word is Christos, and in English, the word is Christ.).

Andrew brought Simon to Jesus, who looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated as Peter).

(Editor's Note: It has been suggested that John's other disciple who followed Jesus, was the Apostle John.)

(See John 1:35-42)
