John:1:43-51
wmth@John:1:43 @ The next day, having decided to leave Bethany and go into Galilee, Jesus found Philip, and invited him to follow Him.
wmth@John:1:44 @ (Now Philip came from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.)
wmth@John:1:45 @ Then Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, »We have found him about whom Moses in the Law wrote, as well as the Prophets–Jesus, the son of Joseph, a man of Nazareth.«
wmth@John:1:46 @ »Can anything good come out of Nazareth?« replied Nathanael. »Come and see,« said Philip.
wmth@John:1:47 @ Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, and said of him, »Look! here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceitfulness!«
wmth@John:1:48 @ »How do you know me?« Nathanael asked. »Before Philip called you,« said Jesus, »when you were under the fig-tree I saw you.«
wmth@John:1:49 @ »Rabbi,« cried Nathanael, »you are the Son of God, you are Israel's King!«
wmth@John:1:50 @ »Because I said to you, `I saw you under the fig-tree,'« replied Jesus, »do you believe? You shall see greater things than that.«
wmth@John:1:51 @ »I tell you all in most solemn truth,« He added, »that you shall see Heaven opened wide, and God's angels going up, and coming down to the Son of Man.«
