Narrator # 1: The two men walked along with Jesus and spent the rest of the day with Him. When they left, they were convinced that He was the Messiah.
Andrew: I am so excited that I have found the Messiah! I can't wait to
find my brother, Peter. Peter! Peter! I've got some wonderful news!
Peter: Where have you been? I needed help fixing this net.
Andrew: Oh, Peter! Just wait unto you hear what I have to tell you.
Peter: Well, help me with this net while you talk. Now, what is so exciting?

Peter: Andrew, we must clean these nets before tonight.
Andrew: Peter, please. Just come with me to see Jesus.

Philip: Nathanael! Resting under a fig tree, huh? I've been looking all over for you.
Nathanael: It's good to see you! Why have you been looking for me?
Philip: Nathanael, I have found the Messiah . . . the very person Moses and the prophets told about! is name is Jesus, the Son of Joseph from Nazareth!
Nathanael: Nazareth is a small town. I've never heard of this man. I know everyone who lives here.

Nathanael: Sir, you are the Son of God, the King of Israel. I am going to follow you.
