約翰福音1:35-42

 

1:35 再次日，約翰同兩個門徒站在那裡。
1:36 他見耶穌行走，就說：「看哪，這是上帝的羔羊！」
1:37 兩個門徒聽見他的話，就跟從了耶穌。
1:38 耶穌轉過身來，看見他們跟著，就問他們說：「你們要甚麼？」他們說：「拉比，在哪裡住？」（拉比翻出來就是夫子。）
1:39 耶穌說：「你們來看。」他們就去看他在哪裡住，這一天便與他同住；那時約有申正了。
1:40 聽見約翰的話跟從耶穌的那兩個人，一個是西門•彼得的兄弟安得烈。
1:41 他先找著自己的哥哥西門，對他說：「我們遇見彌賽亞了。」（彌賽亞翻出來就是基督。）
1:42 於是領他去見耶穌。耶穌看見他，說：「你是約翰的兒子西門（約翰在馬太十六章十七節稱約拿），你要稱為磯法。」（磯法翻出來就是彼得。）

 

³⁵ The next day John was there again with two of his disciples. ³⁶ When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”

³⁷ When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus. ³⁸ Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, “What do you want?”

They said, “Rabbi” (which means “Teacher”), “where are you staying?”

³⁹ “Come,” he replied, “and you will see.”

So they went and saw where he was staying, and they spent that day with him. It was about four in the afternoon.

⁴⁰ Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. ⁴¹ The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (that is, the Christ). ⁴² And he brought him to Jesus.

Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which, when translated, is Peter^[g]).

 

****************

 

    在施洗約翰的見證下，開始有人跟隨耶穌基督，這個人就是安德烈，他是彼得的兄弟。他與主耶穌同住一天後，他先找著自己的哥哥西門，對他說：「我們遇見彌賽亞了。」（彌賽亞翻出來就是基督。）

 

    而安德烈不僅跟哥哥說主耶穌是彌賽亞，也就是基督。還領彼得去見主耶穌，也因為這樣的接觸，彼得和主耶穌也建立關係了！所以主耶穌會說：「你是約翰的兒子西門（約翰在馬太十六章十七節稱約拿），你要稱為磯法。」（磯法翻出來就是彼得。）

 

    因此，我們不只自己要信主，還要帶領家人來信靠主耶穌，正如安德烈一樣！
