⁷ The angel of the Lord^(A) found her by a spring in the wilderness, the spring on the way to Shur. ⁸ He said, “Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from and where are you going?”

She replied, “I’m running away from my mistress Sarai.”

⁹ The angel of the Lord said to her, “Go back to your mistress and submit to her authority.” ¹⁰ The angel of the Lord said to her, “I will greatly multiply your offspring,^(B) and they will be too many to count.”

¹¹ The angel of the Lord said to her, “You have conceived and will have a son. You will name him Ishmael,^[a] for the Lord has heard your cry of affliction. ¹² This man will be like a wild donkey. His hand will be against everyone, and everyone’s hand will be against him; he will settle near all his relatives.”^(C)

¹³ So she named the Lord who spoke to her: “You are El-roi,”^[b] for she said, “In this place, have I actually seen^(D) the one who sees me?” ^{[c] 14} That is why the well is called Beer-lahai-roi.^[d] It is between Kadesh and Bered.

⁴⁷ Then Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said about him, “Here truly is an Israelite^(A) in whom there is no deceit.”

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,”^(B) Nathanael replied, “You are the Son^(C) of God; you are the King of Israel!” ^(D)

⁵⁰ Jesus responded to him, “Do you believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this.” ⁵¹ Then he said, “Truly I tell you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God^(E) ascending and descending^(F) on the Son of Man.”^(G)
