John 1:48 In-Context

46 "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" replied Nathanael. "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!"

48 "How do you know me?" Nathanael asked. "Before Philip called you," said Jesus, "when you were under the fig-tree I saw you."

49 "Rabbi," cried Nathanael, "you are the Son of God, you are Israel's King!"

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."
