John 1:47-49

The Voice

Jesus: Look closely, and you will see an Israelite who is a truth-teller.

Nathanael (overhearing Jesus): ⁴⁸ How would You know this about me? We have never met.

Jesus: I have been watching you before Philip invited you here. Earlier in the day, you were enjoying the shade and fruit of the fig tree. I saw you then.

Nathanael: ⁴⁹ Teacher, You are the One—God’s own Son and Israel’s King.
