These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

 The Revised Standard Version has it that Andrew "first found his brother Simon." In the Greek manuscripts there are two readings. Some manuscripts have the word proton ( G4412) , which means first, and that is the reading that the Revised Standard Version has translated. Other manuscripts have proi ( G4404) , which means early in the morning. In our translation we have taken the second reading because it suits better the story of the first momentous week in Jesus' life to regard this event as taking place on the next day.
