1:45 Philip found Nathanael111 and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the law, and the prophets also112 wrote about—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
snNathanael is traditionally identified with Bartholomew (although John never describes him as such). He appears here after Philip, while in all lists of the twelve except in Acts 1:13, Bartholomew follows Philip. Also, the Aramaic Bar-tolmai means “son of Tolmai,” the surname; the man almost certainly had another name.

tn “Also” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.
