John 1:43-51

Revised Geneva Translation

⁴³ The following day, Jesus wished to go into Galilee. And He found Philip, and said to him, “Follow me.”

⁴⁴ Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

⁴⁵ Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, “We have found Him of whom Moses wrote in the Law and the Prophets – Jesus of Nazareth, son of Joseph!”

⁴⁶ Then Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”

⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and said of him, “Behold, indeed an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.”

⁴⁸ Nathanael said to Him, “From where 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, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”

⁵⁰ Jesus answered, and said to him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree’, you believe? You shall see greater things than these.”

⁵¹ And He said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see Heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”
