“And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.”
Bible
“Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! / 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.”
“Jesus of Nazareth could have chosen simply to express Himself in moral precepts; but like a great poet He chose the form of the parable, wonderful short stories that entertained and clothed the moral precept in an eternal form. It is not sufficient to catch man's mind, you must also catch the imaginative faculties of his mind.”
Dudley Nichols
“There has never been a better raconteur than Jesus of Nazareth.”
Harvey Cox
“Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee; / And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim: / That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, / The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; / The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.”
“And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.”
“And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.”
