Because of John's testimony, two followed Jesus - Jn 1:37, 40

✴ Jesus’ question “What do you seek?” - 1:38

✴Their reply “Rabbi, Where are you staying” - 1:39

✴ Jesus responds - “Come & See” which they did - 1:39



John 1:40 (NKJV) 40 One of the two who

heard John speak, and followed Him,

was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

Andrew✴ From Bethsaida of Galilee - cf.

Jn 1:44✴ Brother of Simon Peter, sons of

was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

Andrew✴ Andrew appears two more

times in John (6:4-9; 12:20-22); both times he is bringing someone to Jesus.

✴ The unnamed disciple is commonly held to be John

✴ In Mark 1:16-20 two pairs of brothers (Simon and Andrew, James and John) who were fishermen called by Jesus.



John 1:41-42 (NKJV) 41 He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which is translated, the Christ).

Andrew✴ Was convinced that Jesus

was the promised Messiah✴ Had to tell others - (Acts

4:20; 8:4; 1 Thes 1:6-8)✴ He was a man who had

previous convictions - He was looking for the Messiah, believing God’s word - (Isa 61:1)


Simon Peter, Phillip & Nathanael

John 1:41-42 (NKJV) 42 And he brought him to Jesus. Now when Jesus looked at him, He said,

"You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called

Cephas" (which is translated, A Stone).

Simon Peter✴ A fisherman from Bethsaida of

Galilee - cf. Mt 4:18; Jn 1:44✴ Brother of Andrew, sons of

Jonah - cf. Jn 1:42✴ Jesus named him Cephas

(Aramaic), Peter (Greek), meaning "a rock"Later, Jesus officially called him to be His disciple as he was fishing by the Sea of Galilee - Lk 5:1-11


John 1:41-42 (NKJV) 42 And he brought him to Jesus. Now when Jesus looked at him, He said,

"You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called

Cephas" (which is translated, A Stone).

Simon Peter✴ Then he was selected to be one

of the twelve apostles - Lk 6:13-14

✴ His name mentioned first in the lists - Included among the "inner circle" - cf. Mt 17:1-2; 26:37

✴ Known for his denial of Christ, and restoration - cf. Jn 18:25; 21:15

✴ A key figure in the first half of the book of Acts



John 1:43-44 (NKJV) 43 The following day Jesus wanted to go to Galilee, and He found Philip and

said to him, "Follow Me." 44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of

Andrew and Peter.

Phillip✴ Greek name suggests Greek

connections - cf. also Jn 12:20-22

✴ From Bethsaida of Galilee - Jn 1:44; 12:21

✴ Selected to be one of the twelve apostles - Lk 6:13-14

✴ Asked by Jesus about bread in feeding the 5,000 - Jn 6:5-7

✴ It was he who asked, "Lord, show us the Father" - Jn 14:8



John 1:45-46 (NKJV) 45 Philip found Nathanael

and said to him, "We have found Him of whom

Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote--Jesus of Nazareth, the son

of Joseph."

Phillip✴ Philip’s discussion with

Nathanael stressed that Jesus is the Promised One of whom Moses (Deut. 18:18-19; cf. John 1:21, 25) and the prophets (Isa. 52:13-53:12; Dan. 7:13; Micah 5:2; Zech. 9:9) wrote.

✴ Called Jesus... the son of Joseph. But would soon recognize that He is “the Son of God” (John 1:49).



John 1:45-46 (NKJV) 46 And Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?"

Philip said to him, "Come and see."

Nathanael✴ Of Cana in Galilee - Jn

21:2Probably a fisherman also - cf. Jn 21:1-3

✴ Nathanael was at first skeptical, because Jesus was of Nazareth - Jn 1:46

✴ Jesus convinces Nathanael - Jn 1:47-51



John 1:47 (NKJV) 47 Jesus saw Nathanael

coming toward Him, and said of him, "Behold, an

Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!"

Nathanael✴ Jesus, having supernatural

knowledge (cf. v. 42), called Nathanael... a true Israelite, in whom there is nothing false (dolos, “deceitful”) unlike Jacob (cf. v. 51 with Gen. 28:12).



John 1:48 (NKJV) 48 Nathanael said to Him, "How do You know me?" Jesus answered and said

to him, "Before Philip called you, when you

were under the fig tree, I saw you."

Nathanael✴ Jesus said He knew exactly

what Nathanael was doing before Philip came up to him;

✴ This expression often meant to have safety and leisure (cf. 1 Kings 4:25; Mic 4:4; Zech. 3:10).

✴ Psalm 139 elaborates on the theme of God’s knowledge of a person’s life in every detail.



John 1:49 (NKJV) 49 Nathanael

answered and said to Him, "Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You

are the King of Israel!"

Nathanael✴ Prompting Nathanael to

proclaim - ✴ "Rabbi, You are the Son of

God!" - cf. Mt 14:33✴ "You are the King of Israel!"

- cf. Mt 21:5; 27:11✴ Nathanael is convinced that

this teacher (Rabbi) is the Messiah



John 1:50-51 (NKJV) 50 Jesus answered and said to him, "Because I said to you, 'I saw you

under the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these."

51 And He said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the

Son of Man."


✴ Greater evidences of His Messiahship

✴ E.g., heaven opening and angels of God ascending and descending upon Him

✴ An allusion to Jacob's dream? - Gen 28:12

✴ An implication that Jesus was the way (ladder) to heaven? - cf. Jn 14:6

You will see greater things than these

John 20:30-31 (NKJV) 30 And truly Jesus did many other

signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life

in His name.

Mark 1:14-20 (NKJV) 14 Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom

of God, 15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent,

and believe in the gospel." 16 And as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and

Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 17 Then Jesus said to

them, "Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men."

Mark 1:14-20 (NKJV) 18 They immediately left their nets and followed Him. 19 When He had gone a little farther from there, He saw James

the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat

mending their nets. 20 And immediately He called them, and they left their father

Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after Him.
