The following day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. He found Philip, and said to him: "Follow me."

Philip was from Bethsaida, and a fellow-townsman of Andrew and Peter.

"Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" asked Nathanael. "Come and see," replied Philip.

"How do you know me?" asked Nathanael. "Even before Philip called you," replied Jesus, "when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

Looking up, and noticing that a great crowd was coming towards him, Jesus said to Philip: "Where are we to buy bread for these people to eat?"

"Twenty pounds' worth of bread," answered Philip, "would not be enough for each of them to have a little."

Who went to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, and said: "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."

Philip went and told Andrew, and then together they went and told Jesus.

"Master, show us the Father," said Philip, "and we shall be satisfied."

"Have I been all this time among you," said Jesus, "and yet you, Philip, have not recognized me? He who has seen me has seen the Father, how can you say, then, 'Show us the Father'?
