On the next day ,
he was determined to go out into Galilee ,
and he found Philip .
Jesus said to him , "
Follow me ."
*
Now Philip was from Bethsaida ,
of the city of Andrew and Peter .
*
Philip found Nathanael ,
and said to him , "
We have found him ,
of whom Moses in the law ,
and the prophets ,
wrote :
Jesus of Nazareth ,
the son of Joseph ."
*
Nathanael said to him , "
Can any good thing come out of Nazareth ?"
Philip said to him , "
Come and see ."
*
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him ,
and said about 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 King of Israel !"
*
Jesus answered him , "
Because I told you , '
I saw you underneath the fig tree ,'
do you believe ?
You will see greater things than these !"
*
He said to him , "
Most certainly ,
I tell you ,
hereafter you will see heaven opened ,
and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man ."
