katapi HOME John 1:43-51 - The Calling of Philip and Nathanael  Jn.1.43-51 (Bethabara-Bethany?)

1 43 (43-44)The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. He met Philip, who, like Andrew and Peter, came from Bethsaida, and said to him, 'Follow me.' 1 45 Philip went to find Nathanael, and told him, 'We have met the man spoken of by Moses in the Law, and by the prophets: it is Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth.' 'Nazareth!' 1 46 Nathanael exclaimed; 'can anything good come from Nazareth?' Philip said, 'Come and see.' 1 47 When Jesus saw Nathanael coming, he said, 'Here is an Israelite worthy of the name; there is nothing false in him.' 1 48 Nathanael asked him, 'How do you come to know me?' Jesus replied, 'I saw you under the fig-tree before Philip spoke to you.' 1 49 'Rabbi,' said Nathanael, 'you are the Son of God; you are king of Israel.' 1 50 so Jesus answered, 'Is this the ground of your faith, that I told you I saw you under the fig-tree? You shall see greater things than that.' 1 51 [ Dn.7.13. ] Then he added, 'In truth, in very truth I tell you all, you shall see heaven wide open, and God's angels ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.'
