St. Bartholomew, Apostle
John 1:43-51

The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee.  He found Philip and said to
him, "Follow me."  Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and
Peter.  Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found him about
whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus son of Joseph
from Nazareth."  Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of
Nazareth?"  Philip said to him, "Come and see."  When Jesus saw Nathanael
coming toward him, he said of him, "Here is truly an Israelite in whom
there is no deceit!"  Nathanael asked him, "Where did you get to know me?"
Jesus answered, "I saw you under the fig tree before Philip called you."
Nathanael replied, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God!  You are the King of
Israel!"  Jesus answered, "Do you believe because I told you that I saw
you under the fig tree?  You will see greater things than these."  And he
said to him, "Very truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened and the
angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man."
