# Jesus Finds His Followers

John 1:29–41

When the devil left Jesus alone, angels came and cared for him. Then he went back to where John was by the Jordan River. John saw Jesus coming toward him. “Look! It’s the Lamb of God who takes away the world’s sin. This is the one I said was greater than I am. I’ve seen this, and now I tell you: This is the Son of God!”

The next morning, John was standing with two of his followers. Jesus walked by. John shouted, “Look, here is the Lamb of God!” His two followers heard this and followed Jesus.

Jesus turned around and said, “What are you looking for?”

“Teacher,” they replied, “where do you live?”

“Come and see.”

One man, Andrew, found his brother, Simon, and said, “We’ve found the Christ!” He brought Simon to Jesus.

Jesus looked at Simon and said, “You are John’s son, Simon. But your new name is Peter.”

The next day, Jesus went to Galilee. He said to Philip, “Follow me.”

Later, Jesus met Nathaniel, who said: “Teacher, you’re the Son of God! You’re the King of Israel!”

Questions: What did John the Baptist say Jesus was? Who did Nathaniel say Jesus was?
