45 Philip found ^tNathanael and said to him, “We have found him of whom ^uMoses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus ^vof Nazareth, ^wthe son of Joseph.” 46 Nathanael said to him, ^x“Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, “Behold, ^yan Israelite indeed, ^zin whom there is no deceit!” 48 Nathanael said to him, “How ^ado you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” 49 Nathanael answered him, ^b“Rabbi, ^cyou are the Son of God! You are the ^dKing of Israel!” 50 Jesus answered him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.”

3 And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, ^a“This man is blaspheming.” 4 But Jesus, ^bknowing¹ their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?

27 However, not to give offense to them, go to the sea and cast a hook and take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find a shekel.¹ Take that and give it to them for me and for yourself.”

A Man with a Withered Hand

6 On another Sabbath, ^ahe entered the synagogue ^band was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered. 7 And the scribes and the Pharisees ^cwatched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, ^dso that they might find a reason to accuse him. 8 But ^ehe knew their thoughts, and he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come and stand here.” And he rose and stood there. 9 And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, ^fis it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to destroy it?” 10 And ^gafter looking around at them all he said to him, “Stretch out your hand.” And ^hhe did so, and his hand was restored. 11 But they were filled with ⁱfury and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.
