The next day Jesus wanted to go to Galilee .
And he found Philip and said to him , »
Follow me .«
*
Now Philip was from Bethsaida ,
the city of Andrew and Peter .
*
Philip found Nathanael and said to him , »
We have found him of whom Moses in the law ,
and also the prophets ,
wrote
Jesus of Nazareth ,
the son of Joseph .«
*
And Nathanael said to him , »
Can anything good come out of Nazareth ?«
Philip said to him , »
Come and see .«
*
Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him ,
and said of him , »
Behold ,
an Israelite indeed ,
in whom is no deceit !«
*
Nathanael said to him , »
How do you know me ?«
Jesus answered him , »
Before Philip called you ,
when you were under the fig tree ,
I saw you .«
*
Nathanael answered him , »
Rabbi ,
you are the Son of God !
You are the King of Israel !«
*
Jesus answered him , »
Because I said to you ,
I saw you under the fig tree ,
do you believe ?
You shall see greater things than these .«
*
And he said to him , »
Truly ,
truly ,
I say to you ,
you shall see heaven open ,
and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man .«
