³⁹ He said to them, Come and see. They went with him then and saw where he was living; and they were with him all that day: it was then about the tenth hour of the day. ⁴⁰ Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two men who, hearing what John said, went after Jesus. ⁴¹ Early in the morning he came across his brother and said to him, We have made discovery! It is the Messiah! I which is to say, the Christ. ⁴² And he took him to Jesus. Looking at him fixedly Jesus said, You are Simon, the son of John; your name will be Cephas I which is to say, Peter. ⁴³ The day after this, Jesus had a desire to go into Galilee. He came across Philip and said to him, Come and be my disciple. ⁴⁴ Now Philip's town was Beth-saida, where Andrew and Peter came from. ⁴⁵ Philip came across Nathanael and said to him, We have made a discovery! It is he of whom Moses, in the law, and the prophets were writing, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. ⁴⁶ Nazareth! said Nathanael, Is it possible for any good to come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him, Come and see. ⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him and said of him, See, here is a true son of Israel in whom there is nothing false. ⁴⁸ Nathanael said to him, Where did you get knowledge of me? In answer Jesus said, Before Philip was talking with you, while you were still under the fig-tree, I saw you. ⁴⁹ Nathanael said to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are King of Israel! ⁵⁰ In answer Jesus said to him, You have faith because I said to you, I saw you under the fig-tree. You will see greater things than these. ⁵¹ And he said to him, Truly I say to you all, You will see heaven opening and God's angels going up and coming down on the Son of man.
