76 EARLY WISDOM GOSPELS
One of the two who heard Yohanan and followed him was Andreas,
brother of Shimon Kefa.^14 First he found his own brother Shimon and told
him,
"We have found the messiah,"
meaning the anointed.^15
He led Shimon to Yeshua.
Looking at him Yeshua said,
"You are Shimon, the son of Yohanan.
You will be called Kefa, meaning 'rock.' "^16
YOU ARE THE SON OF GOD
The next day Yeshua wished to go out to Galil.^17 He found Philippos^18 and said
to him, "Follow me."
Now, Philippos was from Bethsaida, the city of Andreas and Kefa.^19 Philip-
pos found Nathanael and said to him, "The one whom Moshe wrote about in
Torah^20 and whom the prophets describe, we have found, Yeshua, son of
Yosef,^21 from Nazareth."
And Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?"
"Come and see!" Philippos replied.
Yeshua saw Nathanael coming to him and said of him, "Look, a true Jew,
one in whom there is no cunning."
"How do you know me?" Nathanael said.
Yeshua answered,
"Before Philippos called you,
you were under the fig tree and I saw you."
Nathanael answered,
"Rabbi, you are the son of god,
you are the king of Israel."
