47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and exclaimed, |Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit!| 48 Nathanael asked him, |How do you know me?| Jesus replied, |Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.| 49 Nathanael answered him, |Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel!| 50 Jesus 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.| 51 He 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.| John 1:47-51, New English Translation.
