John 1:43-51

43 ¹The next day He purposed to go into ²Galilee, and He found ³Philip. And Jesus said to him, "⁴Follow Me."

44 Now ⁵Philip was from ⁶Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.

45 ⁷Philip found ⁸Nathanael and said to him, "We have found Him of whom ⁹Moses in the Law and also ¹⁰the Prophets wrote -Jesus of ¹¹Nazareth, ¹²the son of Joseph."

46 Nathanael said to him, "¹³Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" ¹⁴Philip said to him, "Come and see."

47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and said of him, "Behold, an ¹⁵Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!"

48 Nathanael said to Him, "How do You know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before ¹⁶Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

49 Nathanael answered Him, "¹⁷Rabbi, You are ¹⁸the Son of God; You are the ¹⁹King of Israel."

50 Jesus answered and said to him, "Because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these."

51 And He said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see ²⁰the heavens opened and ²¹the angels of God ascending and descending on ²²the Son of Man."
