New International Version NIV
43 The next day, having decided to leave Bethany and go into Galilee, Jesus found Philip, and invited him to follow Him.
43
The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, “Follow me.”
44 (Now Philip came from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.)
44
Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida.
45 Then Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him about whom Moses in the Law wrote, as well as the Prophets--Jesus, the son of Joseph, a man of Nazareth."
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 "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" replied Nathanael. "Come and see," said Philip.
46
“Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, and said of him, "Look! here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceitfulness!"
47
When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.”
48 "How do you know me?" Nathanael asked. "Before Philip called you," said Jesus, "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 "Rabbi," cried Nathanael, "you are the Son of God, you are Israel's King!"
49
Then Nathanael declared, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.”
50 "Because I said to you, `I saw you under the fig-tree,'" replied Jesus, "do you believe? You shall 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 "I tell you all in most solemn truth," He added, "that you shall see Heaven opened wide, and God's angels going up, and coming down to 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.”
