Saint John 1, 47-51
Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, «Here is a true child of Israel. There is no duplicity in him.»
Nathanael said to him, «How do you know me?» Jesus answered and said to him, «Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree.»
Nathanael answered him, «Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.»
Jesus answered and said to him, «Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this.»
And he said to him, «Amen, amen, I say to you, you will see the sky opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.»
