43 The following day, Yeshua wanted to go to Galilee. He found Philip and told him, “Follow me!” 44 Philip was from the town of Bethsaida where Andrew and Peter lived. 45 Philip then found Nathanael and told him, “We’ve found the one that Mosheh and the prophets wrote about in the Scriptures. He’s Yeshua from Nazareth.”

46 And Nathanael said, “Does anything good come from Nazareth?”

So Philip answered, “Well, come and see for yourself.”

47 Yeshua saw Nathanael approaching and said, “Ah, this is an honest Israeli.”

48 But Nathanael queried him, “Where do you know me from?”

And Yeshua replied, “Actually I saw you under that fig tree before Philip had even called you.”

49 Nathanael exclaimed, “Great teacher! You are God’s son! You’re the king of Israel!”

50 Yeshua responded, “So you believe this because I said that I had seen you under the fig tree. You’ll get to see much greater things than that!” 51 [ref]And he continued, “Honestly, I’m telling all of you: you’ll be seeing the sky opened up and God’s messengers going up and coming down on me—humanity’s child.”
