13 Philip and Nathaniel

John 1:35-51, TBC Book Two, Chapter 13
Now that Jesus had obeyed the Father in baptism and in overcoming the test of Satan, he was ready to begin his mission. He was walking near the Jordan River, when John, the Baptist, saw him in the distance.

John had been teaching other young men, training them to do the same work he was doing. Two of his disciples were with him when he saw Jesus. “Look!” John said. “There he is—the Lamb of God!” When John’s disciples heard that, they ran to catch up with him.

But as they approached him, they thought, What should we say to him? So they followed him for a while. Jesus knew they were following. So he stopped and turned around.

“What do you want?” he asked.

One of them said, “Rabbi, we were wondering, where you are staying.?

“Come with me,” Jesus said, “and I’ll show you. . . .”
