The Holy Gospel According to John 1: 43-51

1:43 On the next day, he wanted to go into Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”

1:44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

1:45 Philip found Nathanael, y le dijo, “We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the Law and the Prophets: Jesús, the son of Joseph, from Nazareth.”

1:46 And Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good be from Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”

1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, and he said about him, "Mirad, an Israelite in whom truly there is no deceit.”

1:48 Nathanael said to him, “From where do you know me?” Jesus responded and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”

1:49 Nathanael answered him and said: “Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are the King of Israel.”

1:50 Jesus responded and said to him: “Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, you believe. Greater things than these, you will see.”

1:51 Y le dijo, "Amén, amen, te digo, you will see heaven opened, and the Angels of God ascending and descending over the Son of man.”
