Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
      (4.) Christ hereupon raises the hopes and expectations of Nathanael to something further and greater than all this, John 1:50; John 1:51. Christ is very tender of young converts, and will encourage good beginnings, though weak, Matthew 12:20.
