6There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John.
7He came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that through him everyone might believe.
8He himself was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.
...
26“I baptize with water,” John replied, “but among you stands One you do not know.
27He is the One who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”
...
38Jesus turned and saw them following. “What do you want?” He asked. They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are You staying?”
39“Come and see,” He replied. So they went and saw where He was staying, and spent that day with Him. It was about the tenth hour.
40Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John’s testimony and followed Jesus.
41He first found his brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated as Christ).
42Andrew brought him to Jesus, who looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated as Peter).
