Christ’s commendation dissolved Nathanael’s doubts. He yielded to Jesus and honored him by using Biblical titles that belong to the Messiah: Son of God and King of Israel. Such expressions when uttered would have exposed Nathanael to death, for the Scribes and members of the Jewish Council denied that God would have a Son. Such utterances would have been counted blasphemous.
Maelezo ya Kristo yalifuta shaka lolote la Nathanaeli. Alijitoa kwake Yesu na kumheshimu kwa kutumia majina ya kibiblia yanayomhusu Masihi: “Mwana wa Mungu” na “Mfalme wa Israeli”. Matamshi kama haya yakitamkwa hadharani yangemweka Nathanaeli kwenye hatari ya kufa.
