John 1:43-51

43On the next day Jesus wanted to set out for Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.”

44(Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the town of Andrew and Peter.)

45Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the law, and the prophets also wrote about – Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”

46Nathanael replied, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip replied, “Come and see.”

47Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and exclaimed, “Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit!”

48Nathanael asked him, “How do you know me?” Jesus replied, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”

49Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel!”

50Jesus said to him, “Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these.”

51He continued, “I tell all of you the solemn truth – you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
