Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."

 There is still another name in the Greek world at which we must look. In Alexandria there was a Jew called Philo who had made it the business of his life to study the wisdom of two worlds, the Jewish and the Greek. No man ever knew the Jewish scriptures as he knew them; and no Jew ever knew the greatness of Greek thought as he knew it. He too knew and used and loved this idea of the Logos ( G3056) , the word, the reason of God. He held that the Logos ( G3056) was the oldest thing in the world and the instrument through which God had made the world. He said that the Logos ( G3056) was the thought of God stamped upon the universe; he talked about the Logos ( G3056) by which God made the world and all things; he said that God, the pilot of the universe, held the Logos ( G3056) as a tiller and with it steered all things. He said that man's mind was stamped also with the Logos ( G3056) , that the Logos ( G3056) was what gave a man reason, the power to think and the power to know. He said that the Logos ( G3056) was the intermediary between the world and God and that the Logos ( G3056) was the priest who set the soul before God.
