“Andrew, Simon Peters brother, was one of the two which had heard it of John, and that followed him [Jesus]. The same found his brother Simon first, and said vnto him, ‘We haue found that Messias [Messiah]‘, which is by interpretation, that Christ (John 1:40, 41 [1587 Geneva Version])”.  Father, You came down.
