Footnotes

  1. 111 Nathanael 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.
  2. 112 “Also” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.
  3. 113 Grk “And Nathanael.”
  4. 114 Grk “said to him.”
  5. 115 Can anything good come out of Nazareth? may be a local proverb expressing jealousy among the towns. For location see ; ; ; ; .
  6. 116 Grk “And Philip said to him.”
