John 1:43–51

⁴³On the following day, he would go forth into Galilee: and he findeth Philip, And Jesus saith to him: follow me.

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

⁴⁵Philip findeth Nathanael and saith to him: We have found him of whom Moses, in the law and the prophets did write, Jesus the son of Joseph of Nazareth.

⁴⁶And Nathanael said to him: Can any thing of good come from Nazareth? Philip saith to him: Come and see.

⁴⁷Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him and he saith of him: Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile.

⁴⁸Nathanael saith 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 him and said: Rabbi: Thou art the Son of God. Thou art the King of Israel.

⁵⁰Jesus answered and said to him: Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, thou believest: greater things than these shalt thou see.

⁵¹And he saith to him: Amen, amen, I say to you, you shall see the heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
