The next day, Yeshua decided to go to the Galilee. He finds Philip and says to him, “Follow Me!”
“I was sought by those who did not ask for Me, I was found by those who did not seek Me. I said, ‘Hineni, hineni!’ to a nation not called by My Name.
Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; Jacob, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
Now when Yeshua heard that John had been handed over, He withdrew to the Galilee.
But Yeshua tells him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”
As Yeshua was passing by from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. He said to him, “Follow Me.” And he got up and followed Him.
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
These things happened in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was immersing.

Again the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples
The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Yeshua.
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.
These came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in the Galilee. “Sir,” they said, “we want to see Yeshua.”
Philip said to Him, “Master, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”
Yeshua did this, the first of the signs, in Cana of the Galilee—He revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
Lifting up His eyes and seeing a large crowd coming to Him, Yeshua said to Philip, “Where will we buy bread so these may eat?”
Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii isn’t enough to buy bread for each to get a little bit!”
Not that I have already obtained this or been perfected, but I press on if only I might take hold of that for which Messiah Yeshua took hold of me.
We love, because He first loved us.
