Philip findeth Nathanael. For the evidence that this disciple was no other than "Bartholomew," in the catalogues of the Twelve, see the note at Matthew 10:3.
And saith unto him, We have found him of whom Moses in the Law - "for he wrote of Me," says our Lord Himself, John 5:46,
And the Prophets - "who testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow" х tas (G3588) meta (G3326) tauta (G5023) doxas (G1391)], 1 Peter 1:11,
Did write, Jesus of Nazareth the son of Joseph. This was the current way of speaking, and legally true. See the notes at Matthew 1:1-25.
