³⁹ He said to them, Come and see. So they went and saw where He was staying, and they remained with Him that day. It was then about the tenth hour (about four o'clock in the afternoon). ⁴⁰ One of the two who heard what John said and followed Jesus was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. ⁴¹ He first sought out and found his own brother Simon and said to him, We have found (discovered) the Messiah!--which translated is the Christ (the Anointed One). ⁴² Andrew then led (brought) Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, You are Simon son of John. You shall be called Cephas--which translated is Peter . ⁴³ The next day Jesus desired and decided to go into Galilee; and He found Philip and said to him, Join Me as My attendant and follow Me. ⁴⁴ Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the same city as Andrew and Peter. ⁴⁵ Philip sought and found Nathanael and told him, We have found (discovered) the One Moses in the Law and also the Prophets wrote about--Jesus from Nazareth, the son of Joseph! ⁴⁶ Nathanael answered him, Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Philip replied, Come and see! ⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him and said concerning him, See! Here is an Israelite indeed , in whom there is no guile nor deceit nor falsehood nor duplicity! ⁴⁸ Nathanael said to Jesus, How do You know me? Jesus answered him, Before Philip called you, when you were still under the fig tree, I saw you. ⁴⁹ Nathanael answered, Teacher, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel! ⁵⁰ Jesus replied, Because I said to you, I saw you beneath the fig tree, do you believe in and rely on and trust in Me? You shall see greater things than this! ⁵¹ Then He said to him, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you all, you shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man!
