Our Father …..
O God, you call us daily to arise and follow Christ the Lord.
Awaken us from whatever lethargy holds us back from listening;
shake us from the deadly sleep of sin.
May Christ, your Word and our Light,
lead us in the ways of life.
Through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen.

One Sunday morning the pastor noticed little Johnny

foyer of the church. The young man of seven had

been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pas-
tor walked up and stood beside him and gazing up at through the intercession of
the plaque he said quietly, "Good morning son."
"Good morning pastor," replied the young man not taking his eyes off Saint Gregory the Great,
the plaque. "Sir, what is this?" Johnny asked.
"Well son, these are all the people who have died in the service,"
keep me within the sheepfold.
replied the pastor. Soberly, they stood together staring up at the
large plaque. Amen.
Little Johnny's voice barely broke the silence when he asked quietly,
"Which one sir, the 10:30 AM or the 6:30 PM?"
Scripture The Gospel of John 1:35-42 ~ Andrew and Simon-Peter meet Jesus ~ www.agapebiblestudy.com
35
John was standing with two of his disciples, 36 and as he watched Jesus walk by, he said, "Behold, the
Lamb of God." 37 The two disciples heard what he said and followed Jesus. 38 Jesus turned and saw them
following him and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi," which translated
means Teacher, "where are you staying?" 39 He said to them, "Come, and you will see." So they went and
saw where Jesus was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four in the afternoon [about
the tenth hour]. 40 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard John and followed
Jesus. 41 He first found his own brother Simon and told him, "We have found the Messiah," which is trans-
lated Anointed [Christos]). 42 Then he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon
the son of John; you will be called Kephas" (which is translated Peter [Petros = rock]).
St. John the Baptist had disciples. They were a group set apart by his ritual baptism of repentance. They followed
him, had fasting rules and their own prayers. Some of them continued as the Baptist's disciples after his
death . Others became Jesus' disciples like St. Andrew and his unnamed friend, who the Church Fathers identify as
St. John Zebedee.
"Behold, the Lamb of God."
This declaration is the second time the Baptist identified Jesus as a sacrificial lamb; see John 1:29, where John iden-
tified Jesus as "The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." The word for lamb in the Greek text
is amnos. It occurs in John's Gospel only here in verse 35 and again in verse 29. It appears nowhere else in the
New Testament except in Acts 8:32 and 1 Peter 1:19. The other word used for "lamb" in the New Testament
is arnion, an archaic form that can be translated as "a little lamb." Arnion is found once in St. John's Gospel (21:15)
and 29 times for Christ in the book of Revelation for a total of 30 times. It is a word specifically used by St. John to
identify the glorified Redeemer, and this distinction may be why it does not appear in the pre-glory narrative.
37
The two disciples heard what he said and followed Jesus.
One of the Baptist's disciples mentioned in verse 37 is Andrew, the brother of Simon-Peter. The other is
unnamed, and we later learn that they both became Jesus' disciples. The majority of scholars, ancient and
modern, identify the Apostle John Zebedee (believed to be the inspired writer of this Gospel) as the Baptist's
unnamed disciple. The lists of the twelve Apostles in the Gospels name Simon, Andrew, James, and John as
the first four. The Synoptic Gospels mention these same four as the first disciples called by Jesus while fish-
ing on the Sea of Galilee (although St. Luke leaves out Andrew). The repeated order of their names in the
lists may suggest a priority of discipleship, listing those who first answered the call in order. If that
is so, there is a case for identifying the "unnamed" disciple as John Zebedee.
In this passage, we have information that is not in the Synoptic Gospels. For the first time, we realize that some of
the Apostles knew Jesus before He began His ministry in Galilee and called them to follow Him when He saw them
fishing and mending their nets near the sea. This information makes their eagerness to leave everything and follow
Him in the second encounter in their call to service in Galilee appear more reasonable.
38
Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him,
"Rabbi," which translated means Teacher, "where are you staying?" 39 He said to them, "Come, and you will
see." So they went and saw where Jesus was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four
in the afternoon [about the tenth hour].
It was about the tenth hour.
What time is the "tenth hour" in this passage? Is the inspired writer using the Jewish or the Roman method of marking time? Is
he speaking of time literally or symbolically? If his reference is symbolic, ten is the number signifying divine order, indicating that
it was the perfect time in God's divine plan that these men came to Jesus. But the tenth hour is probably meant both symbolical-
ly and literally.
In the Jewish method of marking time, the day began sundown with the entire day divided into two divisions of twelve hours.
The twelve nighttime hours were divided into four, Watches (3 hours each) during the Roman occupation (before the Roman
occupation, the Jews kept three Watches). Jesus names the four night-watches in Mark 13:35. The twelve seasonal daytime
hours (divided between dawn and sunset) corresponded with the Tamid liturgical worship service and sacrifice in the Temple
that began with selecting the Tamid lamb at dawn, the first hour. The other Gospels use Jewish time, and, according to the
Jewish reckoning, the tenth hour would be about 4 PM our time, late in the afternoon, but it was evening, near the end of the
day, for the Jews (the Jewish day ended at sundown). If the disciples of John the Baptist stayed with Jesus "that day" (verse 39)
until sunset, there wasn't much daylight left. With the Jewish day ending at sundown, which was the seasonal hour of about our
6 PM or in Jewish time the 12th hour, that only gave them two hours of conversation.

ter all, didn’t Jesus forbid that in Matthew 23:9?
Let’s go to the Scriptures. In Matthew 23:9 Jesus

that you’re not even allowed to refer to your dad SENTENCE

that at all. If Christians took that verse literally, January Church Cleaners are

St. Paul refers to Abraham as “...the father of us

fathers. Just read the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1.
