18) JESUS BEGINS HIS
MINISTRY
19) JESUS’ FIRST CALL
TO DISCIPLES
John 1:35-51
35 Again the next day after John stood, and
two of his disciples;
36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he
saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
37 And the two disciples heard him speak,
and they followed Jesus.
38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following,
and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is
to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
39 He saith unto them, Come and see. They
came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about
the tenth hour.
40 One of the two which heard John speak,
and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
41 He first findeth his own brother Simon,
and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted,
the Christ.
42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus
beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called
Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
43 The day following Jesus would go
forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of
Andrew and Peter.
45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto
him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did
write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there
any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and
saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest
thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee,
when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him,
Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because
I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt
see greater things than these.
51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily,
I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God
ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
20) FIRST MIRACLE –
JESUS CHANGES WATER TO WINE
John 2:1-12
1 And the third day there was a marriage
in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples,
to the marriage.
3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of
Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I
to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever
he saith unto you, do it.
6 And there were set there six waterpots of
stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or
three firkins apiece.
7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots
with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and
bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the
water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants
which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning
doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which
is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in
Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed
on him.
12 After this he went down to Capernaum,
he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued
there not many days.
