John 1:47-49

New Testament for Everyone

⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming towards him.

⁴⁸ “How did you get to know me?” asked Nathanael.

“Oh,” replied Jesus, “I saw you under the fig tree, before Philip spoke to you.”

⁴⁹ “Rabbi,” replied Nathanael, “you’re the son of God! You’re the king of Israel!”
