Philip
found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in
the law, and also the prophets, Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth.” But
Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Philip said to
him, “Come and see.” 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 heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending
on the Son of Man.”

Sa una,
dili makatuo si Nathanael nan pagka-Son of God ni Jesus nan tag-esplikahan sija
ni Philip kay waya man gajud kuno’y marajaw na taga-Nazareth.
Para makombinse
si Nathnael, tag-iban ini ni Philip kan Jesus para hikit’an nija nan personal an
Messiah na ija tagsulti dija.
Lajo pa
sila, tag-lang’an ni Jesus si Nathanael na waya’y duha-duha na tinood ini na
taga-Israel ugsa na nangutana ini kon uno man na nakakilaya man dija si Jesus.
Waya sija
magpalandong na hingkilay’an baja sija ni Jesus.
Nag-duha-duha
ba ‘sab kita sa ato mga kasing-kasing sa pagka-Son of God ni Jesus?
