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 versus 43 to 51.
0:21.5	So as always, we will go through the text and then we'll have a go at doing an exegesis of the text.
0:27.0	What does it really mean on the most fundamental level?
0:29.9	This particular text is not particularly well known.

0:52.7	Philip found Nathaniel and said to him, we have found the one Moses
0:56.8	wrote about in the law, the one about whom the prophets wrote. He is Jesus, son of Joseph, from
1:03.6	Nazareth. From Nazareth, said Nathaniel, can anything good come from that place? Come and see, replied Philip.

1:53.9	and above the son of man, the angels of God ascending and descending.
