5 And [2532] that [3754] he was seen [3700] of Cephas [2786], then [1534] of the twelve [1427]:

17 The plain [06160] also, and Jordan [03383], and the coast [01366] thereof, from Chinnereth [03672] even unto the sea [03220] of the plain [06160], even the salt [04417] sea [03220], under Ashdothpisgah [0798] [0794] eastward [04217].

35 Again [3825] the next day after [1887] John [2491] stood [2476], and [2532] two [1417] of [1537] his [846] disciples [3101];
36 And [2532] looking upon [1689] Jesus [2424] as he walked [4043], he saith [3004], Behold [2396] the Lamb [286] of God [2316]!
37 And [2532] the two [1417] disciples [3101] heard [191] him [846] speak [2980], and [2532] they followed [190] Jesus [2424].
38 Then [1161] Jesus [2424] turned [4762], and [2532] saw [2300] them [846] following [190], and saith [3004] unto them [846], What [5101] seek ye [2212]? [1161] They said [2036] unto him [846], Rabbi [4461], (which [3739] is to say [3004], being interpreted [2059], Master [1320],) where [4226] dwellest thou [3306]?
39 He saith [3004] unto them [846], Come [2064] and [2532] see [1492]. They came [2064] and [2532] saw [1492] where [4226] he dwelt [3306], and [2532] abode [3306] with [3844] him [846] that [1565] day [2250]: for [1161] it was [2258] about [5613] the tenth [1182] hour [5610].
40 One [1520] of [1537] the two [1417] which [3588] heard [191] [3844] John [2491] speak, and [2532] followed [190] him [846], was [2258] Andrew [406], Simon [4613] Peter's [4074] brother [80].
41 He [3778] first [4413] findeth [2147] his own [2398] brother [80] Simon [4613], and [2532] saith [3004] unto him [846], We have found [2147] the Messias [3323], which [3739] is [2076], being interpreted [3177], the Christ [5547].
42 And [2532] he brought [71] him [846] to [4314] Jesus [2424]. And [1161] when Jesus [2424] beheld [1689] him [846], he said [2036], Thou [4771] art [1488] Simon [4613] the son [5207] of Jona [2495]: thou [4771] shalt be called [2564] Cephas [2786], which [3739] is by interpretation [2059], A stone [4074].
47 Again [3825], the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772] is [2076] like [3664] unto a net [4522], that was cast [906] into [1519] the sea [2281], and [2532] gathered [4863] of [1537] every [3956] kind [1085]:
20 And [1161] they straightway [2112] left [863] their nets [1350], and followed [190] him [846].
1 And [1161] it came to pass [1096], that, as [1722] the people [3793] pressed upon [1945] him [846] to hear [191] the word [3056] of God [2316], [2532] he [846] stood [2258] [2476] by [3844] the lake [3041] of Gennesaret [1082],
16 Now [1161] as he walked [4043] by [3844] the sea [2281] of Galilee [1056], he saw [1492] Simon [4613] and [2532] Andrew [406] his [846] brother [80] casting [906] a net [293] into [1722] the sea [2281]: for [1063] they were [2258] fishers [231].
