another, “Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for

name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.”

43 The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.” 44 Now Philip was from
Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him of whom
Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” 46 Nathanael said to him, “Can
anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him
and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!” 48 Nathanael said to him, “How do you
know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” 49 Nathanael
answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”

ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
