John 1:43-51 - Jesus Calls Philip And Nathanael
43 and he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looking on him, said: You are Simon, the son of Jonah; you shall be called Cephas (which, when translated, is Rock). 44 The day following, Jesus wished to go into Galilee; and he found Philip, and said to him: Follow me. 45 Now, Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 46 Philip found Nathaniel, and said to him: We have found him of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the SOD of Joseph. 47 And Nathaniel said to him: Can any thing good come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him: Come and see. 48 Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him, and said of him: Be hold, an Israelite in truth, in whom there is no guile. 49 Nathaniel said to him: How knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him: Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig-tree, I saw you. 50 Nathaniel answered and said to him: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. 51 Jesus answered and said to him: Do you believe, be cause I said to you, I saw you under the fig-tree? You shall see greater things than these. And he said to him: Verily, verily I say to you, From this time you shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
