"The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Phillip, he said to him, "Follow me." Phillip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida. Phillip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the one that Moses wrote about in the Law and about whom the Prophets also wrote - Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
"Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?" asked Nathanael.
"Come and see." said Phillip
When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, "Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit. "
"How do you know me?" Nathanael asked.
Jesus answered, "I saw you under the fig tree before Phillip called you."
Then Nathanael declared, Rabbi, "You are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel."
Jesus said, "You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that. "Then, he added, "Very truly you will see the heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
John 1: 43- 50
