Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 1:49-50

"Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art King of Israel. Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee underneath the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these." — John 1:49-50 (ASV)

Nathanael answered and saith unto him: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the king of Israel. Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.

You who are honest in heart, you who can be convinced by a single argument, – and, mark, one good argument is as convincing as twenty good arguments, and a great deal better than a hundred bad ones, – you who are willing to be led by a single thread will be led. If you are willing to believe on what is clear evidence, you will have more evidence: thou shalt see greater things than these. God will show much to that man who has eyes with which to see it. He who will not see, and does not wish to see, will grow more and more blind, and the darkness will thicken about him.
