John 1:42
Jesus said, Thou art Simon, the son of Jonah - As none had told our Lord these names, this could not but strike Peter. Cephas, which is Peter - Moaning the same in Syriacts which Peter does in Greek, namely, a rock.
40 One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was aAndrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
41 He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, “We have found the1 Messiah” (which is translated, the Christ).
42 And he brought him to Jesus. Now when Jesus looked at him, He said, “You are Simon the son of1 Jonah. aYou shall be called Cephas” (which is translated, A Stone).
Philip and Nathanael
43 The following day Jesus wanted to go to Galilee, and He found aPhilip and said to him, “Follow Me.”
44 Now aPhilip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Philip found aNathanael and said to him, “We have found Him of whom bMoses in the law, and also the cprophets, wrote—Jesus dof Nazareth, the eson of Joseph.”
46 And Nathanael said to him, a“Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of him, “Behold, aan Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”
