Philip and Nathanael

⁴³ The next day Jesus^[a] decided to leave for Galilee. He found Philip^(A) and told him, ‘Follow me.’

⁴⁴ Now Philip was from Bethsaida,^(B) the home town of Andrew and Peter. ⁴⁵ Philip found Nathanael^(C) and told him, ‘We have found the one Moses wrote about in the law (and so did the prophets^(D)): Jesus the son of Joseph,^(E) from Nazareth.’^(F)

⁴⁶ ‘Can anything good^(G) come out of Nazareth? ’ Nathanael asked him.

‘Come and see,’ Philip answered.

⁴⁷ Then Jesus saw Nathanael coming towards him and said about him, ‘Here truly is an Israelite^(H) in whom there is no deceit.’

⁴⁸ ‘How do you know me? ’ Nathanael asked.

‘Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you,’ Jesus answered.

⁵ So when Jesus looked up and noticed a huge crowd coming towards him,^(A) he asked Philip,^(B) ‘Where will we buy bread so that these people can eat? ’

⁷ Philip answered him, ‘Two hundred denarii^[a](A) worth of bread wouldn’t be enough for each of them to have a little.’

²¹ So they came to Philip,^(A) who was from Bethsaida^(B) in Galilee,^(C) and requested of him, ‘Sir,^(D) we want to see Jesus.’ ²² Philip went and told Andrew;^(E) then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.

Jesus Reveals the Father

⁸ ‘Lord,’ said Philip,^(A) ‘show us the Father, and that’s enough for us.’

⁹ Jesus said to him, ‘Have I been among you all this time and you do not know me, Philip? The one who has seen me has seen the Father.^(B) How can you say, “Show us the Father”?
