Lesson 12- Jesus calls his first followers

John 1:35-51


The day after John gave his testimony of Jesus, John was with 2 of his disciples. When John saw Jesus he said to them "Look, the Lamb of God!"






When the his followers heard this they left John and followed Jesus. Jesus turned and asked them, "What do you want?"


They asked him where he was staying. Jesus invited them to come with him to see & they did.


Andrew then went and told his brother, Simon Peter about Jesus being the Christ. Then he took him to see Jesus. When Jesus saw Simon he told him who he was and that he would rename him, 'Peter'. then he told Simon to follow him and he did.




The next day, Jesus went to Galilee and called Phillip to follow him, and he did. Then he went and told Nathanael that he had found the Messiah, and that it was Jesus of Nazareth. Nathanael said, "Can anything good come from Nazareth?" Phillip told him," come and see." And he did.


As Nathanael came close to Jesus, Jesus said, Here is trully a peraon of Israel. There is nothing false about him." Nathanel asks him how he knew that? Jesus told him that he had seen him under the fig tree before Phillip came to him. When Nathanael belived that Jesus was the son of God, and followed him.
