Augustine of Hippo, on John 1:47
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
John 1:47 · Douay-Rheims
“Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him: and he saith of him: Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile.”
On this verse:
“(Serm. 40. [122.]) Nathanael remembered that he had been under the fig tree, where Christ was not present corporeally, but only by His spiritual knowledge. Hence, knowing that he had been alone, he recognised our Lord’s Divinity.”
