Read in context

John 1:40–44 · Berean Standard Bible

40 Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John’s testimony and followed Jesus.

41 He first found his brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated as Christ).

42 Andrew 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).

43 The next day Jesus decided to set out for Galilee. Finding Philip, He told him, “Follow Me.”

44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.
