‏ John 1:45

45 Philip found Nathanael ^{▼▼sn Nathanael is traditionally identified with Bartholomew (although John never describes him as such). He appears here after Philip; in all lists of the twelve except in Acts 1:13, Bartholomew follows Philip. Also, the Aramaic Bar-tolmai means “son of Tolmai,” the surname; the man almost certainly had another name. Other alternatives than Bartholomew have also been suggested, e.g. James the son of Alphaeus; see C. E. Hill, “The Identity of John’s Nathanael,” JSNT 20 (1998): 45-61.} and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the law, and the prophets also ^{▼▼tn “Also” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.} wrote about—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
