“Philip found Nathanael and said to him, ‘We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.’” In the last passage we see that Jesus chooses Phillip and now we have Phillip reaching out to his friend Nathanael.

John 1:31
“’I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel.’” John has just attested to who Jesus is and how He was coming after him. In this verse, John the Baptist shows that Jesus is the reason that he was even baptizing…
