Bible Discussion Thread

This is right before Jesus starts his ministry, where Jesus meets his desciples and John has declared that "I must decrease so that He may increase", (from 35-51) and has been declared Rabbi, teacher/master by those who John sent to be his desciples, in those days, they did not meet in the temple to hear teachings on a daily basis, they usually met at the Rabbis house, or where he was headquartered.
More desciples were to follow him later, but there had to be a sign in order for them to follow as there had been 3 want to be's before Jesus in the 400 years of silence that followed between the OT and the NT.
Christ tells Phillip, that he saw them under the fig tree, and Phillip knew he was the Messiah, later Jesus tell them that they shall see the heavens open and angels ascending and descending on the Son of Man, but they shall see greater miracles than these because they believe.
See chapter 2 for his first miracle, and my comment on The Wedding feast.
