John 1:47

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine;

For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh.

But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel;

for we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh,

How blessed is the man to whom the Lord

does not impute iniquity,

And in whose spirit there is no deceit!

A Psalm of Asaph.
Surely God is good to Israel,
To those who are pure in heart!

Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all

slander,

And no lie was found in their mouth; they are blameless.

If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself.
