John 1:46-48

Expanded Bible

⁴⁶ But Nathanael said to Philip, “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” [^CThis is because of its insignificance and lack of mention in the OT.]

Philip answered, “Come and see.”

⁴⁷ As Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, he said, “Here is truly an Israelite. There is ·nothing false [no deceit; no guile] in him.”

⁴⁸ Nathanael asked, “How do you know me?”

Jesus answered, “I saw you when you were under the fig tree, before Philip ·told you about me [^Lcalled you].”
