44. (Philip was from Bethsaida, the town where Andrew and Peter lived.)
45. Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one whom Moses wrote about in the book of the Law and whom the prophets also wrote about. He is Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth.”
46. “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Nathanael asked.“Come and see,” answered Philip.
47. When Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, he said about him, “Here is a real Israelite; there is nothing false in him!”
48. Nathanael asked him, “How do you know me?”Jesus answered, “I saw you when you were under the fig tree before Philip called you.”
49. “Teacher,” answered Nathanael, “you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
