43 The next day, having decided to leave for the Galil, Yeshua found Philip and said, "Follow me!"
43
The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, “Follow me.”
44 Philip was from Beit-Tzaidah, the town where Andrew and Kefa lived.
44
Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida.
45 Philip found Natan'el and told him, "We've found the one that Moshe wrote about in the Torah, also the Prophets -- it's Yeshua Ben-Yosef from Natzeret!"
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 Natan'el answered him, "Natzeret? Can anything good come from there?" "Come and see," Philip said to him.
46
“Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip.
47 Yeshua saw Natan'el coming toward him and remarked about him, "Here's a true son of Isra'el -- nothing false in him!"
47
When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.”
48 Natan'el said to him, "How do you know me?" Yeshua 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 Natan'el said, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Isra'el!"
49
Then Nathanael declared, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.”
50 Yeshua answered him, "you believe all this just because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than that!"
50
Jesus said, “You believebecause I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that.”
51 Then he said to him, "Yes indeed! I tell you that you will see heaven opened and the angels of God going up and coming down on the Son of Man!"
51
He then added, “Very truly I tell you,youwill see ‘heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on’the Son of Man.”
