43 The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. And he found Philip and said to 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 from Beth-sa'ida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
|
44 Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida.
|
|
45 Philip found Nathan'a-el, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, 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 Nathan'a-el said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
|
46 "Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?" Nathanael asked. "Come and see," said Philip.
|
|
47 Jesus saw Nathan'a-el coming to him, and said 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 Nathan'a-el said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
|
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 Nathan'a-el answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"
|
49 Then Nathanael declared, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel."
|
|
50 Jesus answered him, "Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall 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 said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, 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."
