John 1:43-51 (New International Version)

Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael

 ⁴³The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, "Follow me."

 ⁴⁴Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida. ⁴⁵Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

 ⁴⁶"Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?" Nathanael asked.
      "Come and see," said Philip.

 ⁴⁷When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, "Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is nothing false."

 ⁴⁸"How do you know me?" Nathanael asked.
      Jesus answered, "I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you."

 ⁴⁹Then Nathanael declared, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel."

 ⁵⁰Jesus said, "You believe^[a] because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You shall see greater things than that." ⁵¹He then added, "I tell you^[b] the truth, you^[c] shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
