When Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, he said of him,
"Here is truly an Israelite in whom there is no deceit!
Nathanael asked him, "Where did you get to know me?" Jesus
answered, "I saw you under the fig tree before Philip called
you." Nathanael replied, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You
are the King of Israel!" Jesus answered, "Do you believe
because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You
will see greater things than these." And he said to him,
"Very truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened and the
angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man."
John
1:47-51
