Between John 142 and John 143, we get a great big, gigantic anyways, because the story that feels like it should

have a lot more to it just ends at the end of verse 42 of John 1.

And then we're on to the next day.

And a new story starts very abruptly in John 143.

And to help us feel that vibe, I thought I would just start

They're moved by the testimony of John.

They're moved by the stuff that Jesus says to them.

And these first two disciples, one who is named Andrew and one who is not, maybe John
