47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of him, “Behold, aan Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”
48 Nathanael said to Him, “How do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
49 Nathanael answered and said to Him, “Rabbi, aYou are the Son of God! You are bthe King of Israel!”
50 Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.”
51 And He said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, ahereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”

John 1:47-51
He said, "Wow, you figured that out, but you don't know what's coming. You're going to see a lot of things that are going to open your eyes to who I really am." Because this could have been taken as kind of a nationalistic thing, and He is saying there is a lot more that you do not know. Stick around.
