John 1:43-51

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴³ On the following day, he would go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him: Follow me.

⁴⁴ Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

⁴⁵ Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him: We have found him of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets did write, Jesus the son of Joseph of Nazareth.

⁴⁶ And Nathanael said to him: Can any thing of good come from Nazareth? Philip saith to him: Come and see.

⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him: and he saith of him: Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile.

⁴⁸ Nathanael saith to him: Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered, and said to him: Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered him, and said: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel.

⁵⁰ Jesus answered, and said to him: Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, thou believest: greater things than these shalt thou see.

⁵¹ And he saith to him: Amen, amen I say to you, you shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
