João 1:50

50 Ao que lhe disse Jesus: Porque te disse: Vi-te debaixo da figueira, crês? coisas maiores do que estas verás.

João 1:50 Meaning and Commentary

John 1:50

Jesus answered and said unto him
Not as reproving him for his faith, as if he was too credulous, and too easily gave into the belief of Christ, as the Son of God, and true Messiah, upon these single expressions of his; but as approving of it, and surprised at it:

because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest
thou?
some read the words, not by way of interrogation, but as an assertion; "thou believest", or "hast believed", as the Vulgate Latin, Arabic, and Persic versions:

thou shall see greater things than these;
meaning that he should have larger discoveries of his person, nature, and perfections, and should see things done by him, much more surprising than any thing he had seen yet; referring to the miracles of raising the dead, casting out devils, and healing all manner of diseases.

João 1:50 In-Context

48 Perguntou-lhe Natanael: Donde me conheces? Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Antes que Felipe te chamasse, eu te vi, quando estavas debaixo da figueira.

49 Respondeu-lhe Natanael: Rabi, tu és o Filho de Deus, tu és rei de Israel.

50 Ao que lhe disse Jesus: Porque te disse: Vi-te debaixo da figueira, crês? coisas maiores do que estas verás.

51 E acrescentou: Em verdade, em verdade vos digo que vereis o céu aberto, e os anjos de Deus subindo e descendo sobre o Filho do homem.
