Again and again in the Gospels we hear Jesus inviting people to "Come and See..." who he is and what he is about. These are the words Jesus uses invite John and Andrew when they follow Jesus after seeing John the Baptist Peint t9 Jesus and hearing him Proeieinii "Behold, the Lamb of God."

"It was about four o'clock

afternoon".
Again and again in the various Gospel accounts of the call of the apostles and disciples we see a curious reality. After visiting with Jesus, John and Andrew rush to tell their brothers, James and Peter, that they have found the Messiah. When Jesus invites Philip to follow him, Philip rushes off to invite Nathaniel as well.
