Philip and Nathanael

⁴³ The following day Jesus wanted to go to Galilee, and He found ^(A)Philip and said to him, “Follow Me.” ⁴⁴ Now ^(B)Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. ⁴⁵ Philip found ^(C)Nathanael and said to him, “We have found Him of whom ^(D)Moses in the law, and also the ^(E)prophets, wrote—Jesus ^(F)of Nazareth, the ^(G)son of Joseph.”

⁴⁶ And Nathanael said to him, ^(H)“Can anything good come out of Nazareth?”

Philip said to him, “Come and see.”

⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of him, “Behold, ^(I)an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”

⁴⁸ Nathanael said to Him, “How do You know me?”

Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered and said to Him, “Rabbi, ^(J)You are the Son of God! You are ^(K)the King of Israel!”

⁵⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” ⁵¹ And He said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, ^(L)hereafter^[a] you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”

¹⁹ We know that we are of God, and ^(A)the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.

²⁰ And we know that the ^(B)Son of God has come and ^(C)has given us an understanding, ^(D)that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. ^(E)This is the true God ^(F)and eternal life.

Beware of Antichrist Deceivers

⁷ For ^(A)many deceivers have gone out into the world ^(B)who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. ^(C)This is a deceiver and an antichrist. ^8 (D)Look to yourselves, ^(E)that ^[a]we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.

^9 (F)Whoever ^[b]transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son.
