A READING FROM THE GOSPEL OF JESUS ACCORDING TO JOHN (FIRST READER ONLY)

JOHN WAS STANDING WITH TWO OF HIS DISCIPLES/

AND, AS HE WATCHED JESUS WALK BY/

HE SAID, "BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD."/

THE TWO DISCIPLES HEARD WHAT HE SAID AND FOLLOWED JESUS./

JESUS TURNED AND SAW THEM FOLLOWING HIM./

HE SAID TO THEM, "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?"/

THEY SAID, "RABBI, WHERE ARE YOU STAYING?"/

HE SAID, "COME AND SEE."/

SO THEY WENT AND SAW WHERE JESUS WAS STAYING,/

AND THEY STAYED WITH HIM THAT DAY./
