Notes

John 1:43–44

Galilee was the region of northern Israel around the Sea of Galilee.
Bethsaida was a village on Galilee's north shore. The name Bethsaida means "house of fishing." It was the home of Peter, Andrew, and Philip. Later, Andrew and Peter moved to Capernaum, a village west of Bethsaida (Mark 1:21, 29).

John 1:35–51

This section introduces the model for discipleship in John’s Gospel. Disciples wanted to come and see Jesus, and when they met him, they stayed with him (1:39).

John 1:19–51

John’s Gospel focuses less on John the Baptist compared to the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew 3:1–6; Mark 1:2–6; Luke 1:1–24, 57–80; 3:1–13). However, the apostle John wants us to understand that John the Baptist correctly identified and honored Jesus.

John the Baptist’s disciples leave him to follow Jesus. Jesus continued the work that John had begun. As the ministry of Jesus grew, John’s ministry became smaller, just as John had said (John 3:30).
