All glorious is the princess in her chamber, with robes interwoven with gold. In many-colored robes she is led to the king, with her virgin companions following behind her. With joy and gladness they are led along as they enter the palace of the king.

Sunday
The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples, and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!” The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?” He said to them, “Come and you will see.” So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour. One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means Christ). He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Cephas” (which means Peter).
10th hour (4pm)
Monday
The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.” Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 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.” Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!” Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” Jesus answered him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples, and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”
Last two days John has breached on:
the coming of the Messiah
Jesus’ Baptism
Yesterday Jesus’ preached
demonstrated power over demons and illness
Today: Sunday
John the Baptist standing with two of his disciples
Andrew & John (author)
Luke tells us they and their brothers are fishermen (next week)
Jesus walked by
“Behold the Lamb of God!
Day before John proclaimed, when Jesus was walking towards him, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”
The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.
They had been slow on the uptake the day before
They realised John was pointing to the one they should be following
Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?”
Jesus tuuned and asked “What are you seeking?”
They spoke Aramaic
Old Testament - Hebrew
New Tesament - Greek
John write in Greek to the mainly gentile audience, and translates for them
News was spreading of:
John’s teaching about the Messiah
Jesus’ own ministry
It was becoming dangerous with the governing authorities
They reply “Rabbi, where are you staying?”
They seek an invitation - private audience
He said to them, “Come and you will see.” So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.
Answer better than expected
The came and saw
They sought & found
10th hour
Hebrew 4pm (Matthew & Mark normally use Hebrew time)
John writing to early church probably used Roman Contract time 10 am
Why was this important? This is the day and time that changed John’s life!
One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
Andrew, Simon Peter’s Brother
He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means Christ).
Andrew goes and tells Simon
“We have found the Messiah”
Messiah - Hebrew
Christ - Greek
Christ Jesus - Title/Role & Name
He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Cephas” (which means Peter).
Brought Simon to Jesus
Jesus changes Simon’s name to Cephas (Peter, in Greek)
Andrew & John heard John the Baptists Preaching
Met Jesus and followed him
John sees this moment as crucial for their discipleship
Mark considered the Sabbeth and healing his mother-in-law was crucial for Simon Peter
Luke shared that be believes the defining moment was the next day (Monday)
Jesus calls us all in different ways
They did not know the full gospel
Jesus name for Peter predicts the divine grace will be accomplished in the heart of his disciple
Calls Philip & Nathanael
Calls Philip & Nathanael
The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.” Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Jesus goes go to Galilee (Valley or Sea)
Goes up to Philip and says “Follow me”
Bethsaida (House of Fishing)
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.”
Philip then goes to Nathanael
“ We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus, the son of Joseph, of Nazaeth”
Even in UK - John of Easebourne and John of Cocking/Upcourt
Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
“Can anything good come out of Nazareth?”
“Come and see”
Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!”
Jesus said “Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!”
Jesus’ statement is a response to Nathanael’s prior question
Nathanael stood out from Israelites due to his lack of deceit
He also points to Jacob (Genesis 27) who tricked Isaac to give him the blessing
Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
“How do you know me?”
“Before Philip called you, when you were under a fig tree, I saw you”
Implied he was praying under the fig tree
Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
“Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
Jesus answered him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
“You believed because of what I said” (statement not question)
“You will see greater things than these”
Jesus makes reference to Jacobs Dream
“Truly, Truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the Angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man”
