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.”

²⁵ He did not need any testimony about mankind,^(A) for he knew what was in each person.^(B)

Psalm 139

⁶ But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father,^(A) who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

To the Church in Thyatira

¹⁸ “To the angel of the church in Thyatira^(A) write:

²⁵ as the secrets^(A) of their hearts are laid bare. So they will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, “God is really among you!”^(B)

²⁴ So Jacob was left alone,^(A) and a man^(B) wrestled with him till daybreak. ²⁵ When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip^(C) so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. ²⁶ Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.”

But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”^(D)

²⁷ The man asked him, “What is your name?”

“Jacob,”^(E) he answered.

²⁸ Then the man said, “Your name^(F) will no longer be Jacob, but Israel,^[a](G) because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”^(H)

²⁹ Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.”^(I)

But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?”^(J) Then he blessed^(K) him there.

³⁰ So Jacob called the place Peniel,^[b] saying, “It is because I saw God face to face,^(L) and yet my life was spared.”

⁵ Therefore judge nothing^(A) before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes.^(B) He will bring to light^(C) what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.^(D)
