Today's reflection: What first excited you about Jesus? What makes you want to know him better today?

Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples, and he looked at Jesus walking, and said, \u201cLook, the Lamb of God!\u201d The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, \u201cWhat are you looking for?\u201d

They said to him, \u201cRabbi\u201d (which means Teacher), \u201cwhere are you staying?\u201d

He said to them, \u201cCome and see.\u201d

They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about 4pm. One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter\u2019s brother. Andrew found Simon, and said to him, \u201cWe have found the Messiah!\u201d (which means Christ). Andrew brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, \u201cYou are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas\u201d (which means Peter, or rock).

On the next day, Jesus decided to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, \u201cFollow me.\u201d Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the same city as Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, \u201cWe have found the one that Moses in the law and the prophets wrote about: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.\u201d

Nathanael said to him, \u201cCan anything good come out of Nazareth?\u201d

Philip said to him, \u201cCome and see.\u201d

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, \u201cLook, here is a true Israelite, with no deceit in him!\u201d Nathanael said to Jesus, \u201cHow do you know me?\u201d

Jesus answered him, \u201cBefore Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.\u201d

Nathanael answered him, \u201cRabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!\u201d

Jesus answered him, \u201cBecause I told you, \u2018I saw you underneath the fig tree,\u2019 do you believe? You will see greater things than these!\u201d Then Jesus said, \u201cMost certainly, I tell you all, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.\u201d
