John 1 43-46


The next day
he (Peter or Jesus) decided to set out for Galilee,
and found Philip.
And Jesus said to him:
‘Follow me.’
(Now Philip was from Bethsaida,
from the town of Andrew and Peter.)

Philip found Nathaniel
and said to him:
‘The one Moses wrote about in the Law
and the Prophets (too)
we have found-
Jesus, son of Joseph, from Nazareth.
And Nathaniel said to him:
From Nazareth! can there be anything good?
Philip said to him
‘Come and see.’

Be thou a bright flame before me,
Be thou a guiding star above me
Be thou a smooth path below me
Be thou a kindly shepherd behind me
Today – tonight -forever
Amen.

St Columba
