43
The day after this, Jesus had a desire to go into Galilee. He came across Philip and said to him, Come and be my disciple.
44
Now Philip's town was Beth-saida, where Andrew and Peter came from.
45
Philip came across Nathanael and said to him, We have made a discovery! It is he of whom Moses, in the law, and the prophets were writing, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
46
Nazareth! said Nathanael, Is it possible for any good to come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him, Come and see.
47
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him and said of him, See, here is a true son of Israel in whom there is nothing false.
48
Nathanael said to him, Where did you get knowledge of me? In answer Jesus said, Before Philip was talking with you, while you were still under the fig-tree, I saw you.
49
Nathanael said to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are King of Israel!
50
In answer Jesus said to him, You have faith because I said to you, I saw you under the fig-tree. You will see greater things than these.
51
And he said to him, Truly I say to you all, You will see heaven opening and God's angels going up and coming down on the Son of man.
