John 1:49

John 1:49

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 Wesley's Notes

<< John 1:48

John 1:50 >>

Nathanael answered - Happy are they that are ready to believe, swift to receive the truth and grace of God. Thou art the Son of God - So he acknowledges now more than he had heard from Philip: The Son of God, the king of Israel - A confession both of the person and office of Christ.
