John 1:45-51
1:45 Philip found Nathanael
and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the law, and the prophets also
wrote about – Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
1:46 Nathanael
replied,
“Can anything good come out of Nazareth?”
Philip replied,
“Come and see.”
1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and exclaimed, “Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit!”
1:48 Nathanael asked him, “How do you know me?” Jesus replied, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
1:49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel!”
1:50 Jesus said to him, “Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these.”
1:51 He continued, “I tell all of you the solemn truth – you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
