SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:50
Respondi Jess y le dijo: Porque te dije, te vi debajo de la higuera, crees; cosas mayores que stas vers.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 1:50
Verse 50. Because I said-I saw thee, &c.] As thou hast credited my Divine mission on this simple proof, that I saw thee when and where no human eye, placed where mine was, could see thee, thy faith shall not rest merely upon this, for thou shalt see greater things than these-more numerous and express proofs of my eternal power and Godhead.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 50. Jesus answered and said unto him , etc.] Not as reproving him for his faith, as if he was too credulous, and too easily gave into the belief of Christ, as the Son of God, and true Messiah, upon these single expressions of his; but as approving of it, and surprised at it: because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou ? some read the words, not by way of interrogation, but as an assertion; thou believest, or hast believed, as the Vulgate Latin, Arabic, and Persic versions: thou shall see greater things than these ; meaning that he should have larger discoveries of his person, nature, and perfections, and should see things done by him, much more surprising than any thing he had seen yet; referring to the miracles of raising the dead, casting out devils, and healing all manner of diseases.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 43-51 - See the nature of true Christianity, it is following Jesus; devotin ourselves to him, and treading in his steps. Observe the objectio Nathanael made. All who desire to profit by the word of God, mus beware of prejudices against places, or denominations of men. The should examine for themselves, and they will sometimes find good wher they looked for none. Many people are kept from the ways of religion by the unreasonable prejudices they conceive. The best way to remove fals notions of religion, is to make trial of it. In Nathanael there was n guile. His profession was not hypocritical. He was not a dissembler nor dishonest; he was a sound character, a really upright, godly man Christ knows what men are indeed. Does He know us? Let us desire to know him. Let us seek and pray to be Israelites indeed, in whom is n guile; truly Christians, approved of Christ himself. Some things weak imperfect, and sinful, are found in all, but hypocrisy belongs not to believer's character. Jesus witnessed what passed when Nathanael wa under the fig-tree. Probably he was then in fervent prayer, seeking direction as to the Hope and Consolation of Israel, where no human ey observed him. This showed him that our Lord knew the secrets of his heart. Through Christ we commune with, and benefit by the holy angels and things in heaven and things on earth are reconciled and unite together __________________________________________________________________
