Book of Common Prayer

⁴³ The day following, Jesus decided to go into Galilee. And he found Philip and said to him, Follow me. ⁴⁴ Philip was from Bethsaida, the town of Andrew and Peter. ⁴⁵ And Philip found Nathanael and said to him, We have found him of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write: Jesus, the son of Joseph of Nazareth. ⁴⁶ And 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 a right Israelite, in whom there is no guile. ⁴⁸ Nathanael said to him, Where did 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 will 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 over the Son of man.

²⁰ There were among them certain Greeks who came to pray at the feast. ²¹ They came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida, a village in Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we would like to see Jesus. ²² Philip went and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

²³ And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come that the Son of man must be glorified. ²⁴ Truly truly I say to you, unless the wheat seed falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. If it dies, it brings forth much fruit. ²⁵ He who loves his life will destroy it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it unto life eternal. ²⁶ If anyone serves me, let him follow me, and where I am, there also shall my servant be. And if anyone serves me, him will my Father honour.
