The Apostles Series: Nathanael (Bartholomew)

He was told by Philip - Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of
whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
John 1:45

Was skeptical - And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?
John 1:46

Christ praised him - Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
John 1:47

Was seen by Christ beforehand - Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
John 1:48

His reply - Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
John 1:49


And for that faith he proclaimed that day--it is said he met his end by being flayed alive then crucified for refusing to recant.
