In the previous verses we read of events occurring on four consecutive days. On the first a delegation came from Jerusalem; on the second John proclaimed Jesus as God’s Lamb; on the third Jesus recruited four disciples; on the fourth day, he called Philip and Nathanael into the circle of disciples.
Kwenye vifungu vilivyotangulia tumesoma mambo yaliotendeka kwa siku nne mfululizo. Siku ya kwanza ule ujumbe ulikuja kutoka Yerusalemu, siku ya pili Yohana alimtangaza Yesu kuwa Mwana-Kondoo wa Mungu. Siku ya tatu Yesu aliwaita wanafunzi wanne. Siku ya nne aliwaita Filipo na Nathanaeli wajiunge na shirika lawanafunzi.
