Book of Common Prayer

⁷ For^[a] none of us lives for himself, and none dies for himself. ⁸ For if we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore if we live and if we die, we are the Lord’s. ⁹ For Christ died and came-to-life for this: that He might be-Lord both of dead and living ones. ¹⁰ But why are you judging your brother? Or why also are you treating your brother with contempt? For we will all stand before the judgment-seat of God. ¹¹ For it has been written [in Isa 45:23]: “As I live”, says the Lord, “every knee will bow to Me. And every tongue will confess-out to God”. ¹² So then, each of us will give an account for himself to God.

Jesus Finds Philip, Who Finds Nathanael. They Follow The Son of God, The King of Israel

⁴³ On the next day He wanted^[a] to go forth to Galilee. And He finds Philip. And Jesus says to him, “Be following Me”. ⁴⁴ Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter. ⁴⁵ Philip finds Nathanael and says to him, “We have found the One of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and the Prophets wrote— Jesus, son of Joseph, from Nazareth”. ⁴⁶ And Nathanael said to him, “Is anything good able to be out of Nazareth?” Philip says to him, “Come and see”. ⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and says about him, “Look— truly an Israelite in whom there is no deceit”. ⁴⁸ Nathanael says to Him, “From where do You know me?” Jesus responded and said to him, “Before Philip called you, while being^[b] under the fig tree, I saw you”. ⁴⁹ Nathanael responded to Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God. You are the King of Israel”. ⁵⁰ Jesus responded and said to him, “Do^[c] you believe because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these!” ⁵¹ And He says to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you^[d] all, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man”.
