1:43 On the next day Jesus 7 wanted to set out for Galilee. 8 He 9 found Philip and said 10 to him, “Follow me.” 1:44 (Now Philip was from Bethsaida, 11 the town of 12 Andrew and Peter.) 1:45 Philip found Nathanael 13 and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the law, and the prophets also 14 wrote about – Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” 1:46 Nathanael 15 replied, 16 “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” 17 Philip replied, 18 “Come and see.”
1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and exclaimed, 19 “Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit!” 20 1:48 Nathanael asked him, “How do you know me?” Jesus replied, 21 “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, 22 I saw you.” 1:49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king 23 of Israel!” 24 1:50 Jesus said to him, 25 “Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” 26 1:51 He continued, 27 “I tell all of you the solemn truth 28 – you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” 29
