When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, âHere truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.â
48
âHow do you know me?â Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, âI saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.â
49
Then Nathanael declared, âRabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.â
50
Jesus said, âYou believebecause I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that.â
51
He then added, âVery truly I tell you,youwill see âheaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending onâthe Son of Man.â
