45 Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We’ve found the one that Moses wrote about in the law and that the prophets did too—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
46 "From Nazareth? Can anything good come from there?" Nathanael wondered.
"Just come and see," Philip replied.
47 As Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said about him, "Look, here’s a true Israelite! There’s nothing false about him."
48 "How do you know who I am?" Nathanael asked.
"I saw you there under the fig tree, before Philip called you," Jesus replied.
49 "Rabbi, you are the Son of God, the king of Israel!" Nathaniel exclaimed.
50 "You believe this just because I told you I saw you under the fig tree?" Jesus replied. "You’ll get to see much more than that!" 51 Then Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, you will all see heaven open, and the angels of God going up and down on the Son of man."1:51. Referring to Jacob’s experience in Genesis 28:12, with the term "Son of man" replacing the word "ladder."
