|
43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
|
43 The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, "Follow me."
|
|
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
|
44 Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida.
|
|
45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write , Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
|
45 Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote--Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
|
|
46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see .
|
46 "Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?" Nathanael asked. "Come and see," said Philip.
|
|
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
|
47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, "Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is nothing false."
|
|
48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
|
48 "How do you know me?" Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, "I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you."
|
|
49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
|
49 Then Nathanael declared, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel."
|
|
50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou ? thou shalt see greater things than these.
|
50 Jesus said, "You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You shall see greater things than that."
|
|
51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open , and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
|
51 He then added, "I tell you the truth, you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
