22 They said therefore unto him: Who art thou, that we may give an answer to them that sent us? What sayest thou of thyself?

26 “I baptize with water,” John replied, “but among you stands one you do not know.
27 The same is he that shall come after me, who is preferred before me: the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to loose.

48 Nathanael saith to him: Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to 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 him and said: 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.”
