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.
