Johannes 1,48

JesusNathanaelPhilip
God's power and sovereignty

46 “Nasaret! Kan noe godt komme derfra?” spurte Natanael. “Kom og se,” svarte Filip.

47 Da Jesus så Natanael komme, sa han, “Her er virkelig en israelitt i hvem det ikke er svik.”

“Hvor kjenner du meg fra?” spurte Natanael. Jesus svarte, “Jeg så deg mens du ennå var under fikentreet, like før Filip kalte på deg.”

49 Da erklærte Natanael, “Rabbi, du er Guds Sønn; du er Israels konge.”

50 Jesus sa, “Du tror fordi jeg sa til deg at jeg så deg under fikentreet. Du skal få se større ting enn det.”
