John 1: 43 - 51
|
| 43
|
The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. And he found Philip and said to him, "Follow me."
|
| 44
|
Now Philip was from Beth-sa'ida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
|
| 45
|
Philip found Nathan'a-el, 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."
|
| 46
|
Nathan'a-el said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
|
| 47
|
Jesus saw Nathan'a-el coming to him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!"
|
| 48
|
Nathan'a-el 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."
|
| 49
|
Nathan'a-el answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"
|
| 50
|
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."
|
| 51
|
And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man."
