Reading 5. At that time, Jesus* #
The day following, he *willed to go into Galilee, and he found Philip. And he said unto him: “Follow me.” Now Philip was of Bethsaida, from the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael and said unto him, “We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and the prophets—Jesus, the son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth.” And Nathanael said unto him, “Can anything good be from Nazareth?” Philip said unto him, “Come and see.” And Jesus, seeing Nathanael coming toward him, said concerning him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile.” Nathanael said unto him, “How dost thou know me?” Jesus answered and said unto him, “Before even Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.” Nathanael answered, and said unto him, “Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.” Jesus answered and said unto him, “Because I said unto thee that I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? Greater things than these shalt thou see.” And he said unto him, “Verily, verily, I say unto you: Henceforth ye shall see the heavens opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”
