[1:46]And Nathanael said to him, Can any good thing come out of
Nazareth? Philip said to him, Come and see. [1:47]Jesus saw Nathanael
coming to him, and said of him, See an Israelite indeed, in whom is no
guile. [1:48]Nathanael said to him, Whence do you know me? Jesus
answered and said to him, Before Philip called you, when you were under
the fig tree I saw you. [1:49]Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, you are
the Son of God; you are the King of Israel. [1:50]Jesus answered and
said to him, Because I said to you I saw you under the fig tree, do you
believe? You shall see greater things than these. [1:51]And he said to
him, I tell you most truly, you shall see heaven opened and the angels
of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
CHAPTER III.
CHRIST CHANGING WATER INTO WINE, RESIDING AT CAPERNAUM, AND PURIFYING
THE TEMPLE.
1 [2:1]AND on the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and
the mother of Jesus was there; [2:2]and Jesus also was invited, and his

of the feast tasted of the water made wine, and knew not whence it

feast called the bridegroom [2:10]and said to him, Every man first
presents the good wine, and when they have drunk freely, the poorer;
but you have kept the good wine till now. [2:11]This first miracle did
