John 1:43–51
43 The next day He q decided to leave for Galilee. Jesus found Philip r and told him, “Follow Me!”
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, s the hometown of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip found Nathanael t u and told him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law (and so did the prophets v): Jesus the son of Joseph, w from Nazareth!” x
46 “Can anything good y come out of Nazareth?” Nathanael asked him.
“Come and see,” Philip answered.
47 Then Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him and said about him, “Here is a true Israelite; z no deceit is in him.”
48 “How do you know me?” Nathanael asked.
“Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you,” Jesus answered.
49 “Rabbi,” a Nathanael replied, “You are the Son b of God! You are the King of Israel!” c
50 Jesus responded to him, “Do you believe only because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You d will see greater things than this.” 51 Then He said, “* I assure you: You e will see heaven opened and the angels of God f ascending and descending g on the * Son of Man.” h
