John 1: 47-50 - 'You will see heaven laid open, and the Son of Man.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 878 (in 'Why the Ecclesial Ministry?') - Finally, it belongs to the sacramental nature of ecclesial ministry that it have a personal character. Although Christ's ministers act in communion with one another, they also always act in a personal way. Each one is called personally: "You, follow me" in order to be a personal witness within the common mission, to bear personal responsibility before him who gives the mission, acting "in his person" and for other persons: "I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit ..."; "I absolve you...."

0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome back to Logical Bible Study, where we look at the gospel reading for today's
0:15.7	Mass. And today we're going to look at John chapter 1 verses 47 to 51.
0:21.6	So as always, we will go through the text and then we'll have a go at doing an exegesis of the text.
0:27.1	What does it really mean on the most fundamental level?
0:30.0	This particular text is not particularly well known.
0:33.2	So you might learn some new things from today's episode.
0:37.1	When Jesus saw Nathaniel coming, he said of him,
0:40.8	There is an Israelite who deserves the name, incapable of deceit.
0:46.7	How do you know me? said Nathaniel.
0:49.4	Before Philip came to call you, said Jesus, I saw you under the fig tree.
0:56.0	Nathaniel answered, Rabbi, you are the son of God, you are the king of Israel.
1:03.1	Jesus replied, you believe that just because I said, I saw you under the fig tree?
1:08.6	You will see greater things than that. And then he added,
1:13.2	I tell you most solemnly, you will see heaven laid open, and above the son of man, the angels of God
1:21.1	ascending and descending. So what's the context here? Well, Philip, the apostlele, has just encountered Jesus for the first time and he recognizes
1:32.3	that Jesus is the Messiah.
1:34.3	So he then rushes to tell his friend Nathaniel about Jesus and Nathaniel is sometimes known as Bartholomew.
1:41.3	He's also one of the apostles eventually. So Philip goes off to see Nathaniel
1:46.0	and he tries to tell Nathaniel, but Nathaniel replies, can anything good come out of Nazareth? And then
1:53.4	Philip's response is, come and see. So Nathaniel does. He comes and checks out this Jesus guy and
2:00.7	that's where we find ourselves today.
2:04.4	Verse 47, when Jesus saw Nathaniel coming, he said of him. Now, to understand this next bit,
