001:043 The next day, having decided to leave Bethany and go into Galilee, Jesus found Philip, and invited him to follow Him. 001:044 (Now Philip came from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.) 001:045 Then Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him about whom Moses in the Law wrote, as well as the Prophets--Jesus, the son of Joseph, a man of Nazareth." 001:046 "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" replied Nathanael. "Come and see," said Philip. 001:047 Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, and said of him, "Look! here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceitfulness!" 001:048 "How do you know me?" Nathanael asked. "Before Philip called you," said Jesus, "when you were under the fig-tree I saw you." 001:049 "Rabbi," cried Nathanael, "you are the Son of God, you are Israel's King!" 001:050 "Because I said to you, `I saw you under the fig-tree,'" replied Jesus, "do you believe? You shall see greater things than that." 001:051 "I tell you all in most solemn truth," He added, "that you shall see Heaven opened wide, and God's angels going up, and coming down to the Son of Man." 002:001 Two days later there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there, 002:002 and Jesus also was invited and His disciples. 002:003 Now the wine ran short; whereupon the mother of Jesus said to Him, "They have no wine." 002:004 "Leave the matter in my hands," He replied; "the time for me to act has not yet come." 002:005 His mother said to the attendants, "Whatever he tells you to do, do it." |
