Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael

John 1

43 On the morrow, he willed to go forth to Galilee, and he findeth Philip, and saith to him, `Be following me.' 44 And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter; 45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, `Him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and the prophets, we have found, Jesus the son of Joseph, who [is] from Nazareth;' 46 and Nathanael said to him, `Out of Nazareth is any good thing able to be?' Philip said to him, `Come and see.' 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming unto him, and he saith concerning him, `Lo, truly an Israelite, in whom guile is not;' 48 Nathanael saith to him, `Whence me dost thou know?' Jesus answered and said to him, `Before Philip's calling thee -- thou being under the fig-tree -- I saw thee.' 49 Nathanael answered and saith to him, `Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.' 50 Jesus answered and said to him, `Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, thou dost believe; greater things than these thou shalt see;' 51 and he saith to him, `Verily, verily, I say to you, henceforth ye shall see the heaven opened, and the messengers of God going up and coming down upon the Son of Man.'
