John 1:43–51

⁴³On the morrow he would go forth into Galilee, and Jesus finds Philip, and says to him, Follow me. ⁴⁴And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter. ⁴⁵Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him, We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, Jesus, the son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth. ⁴⁶And Nathanael said to him, Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Philip says to him, Come and see. ⁴⁷Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says of him, Behold one truly an Israelite, in whom there is no guile. ⁴⁸Nathanael says to him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee. ⁴⁹Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel. ⁵⁰Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? Thou shalt see greater things than these. ⁵¹And he says to him, Verily, verily, I say to you, Henceforth ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of man.
