 {Philip findeth} (heuriskei Philippos). Dramatic present
again. Philip carries on the work. One wins one. If that glorious
beginning had only kept on! Now it takes a hundred to win one.
{Nathaniel} (	on Nathana(886c)). It is a Hebrew name meaning "God
has given" like the Greek Theodore (Gift of God). He was from
Cana of Galilee ( Joh 21:2 ), not far from Bethsaida and so known
to Philip. His name does not occur in the Synoptics while
Bartholomew (a patronymic, _Bar Tholmai_) does not appear in
John. They are almost certainly two names of the same man. Philip
uses heur(886b)amen (verse  41 ) also to Nathanael and so unites
himself with the circle of believers, but instead of Messian
describes him "of whom (hon accusative with egrapsen) Moses
in the law ( De 18:15 ) and the prophets (so the whole O.T. as in
 Lu 24:27,44 ) did write." {Jesus of Nazareth the son of Joseph}
(I(8873)oun huion tou I(9373)(8870)h ton apo Nazaret). More exactly,
"Jesus, son of Joseph, the one from Nazareth." Jesus passed as
son (no article in the Greek) of Joseph, though John has just
described him as "God-only Begotten" in verse  18 , but certainly
Philip could not know this. Bernard terms this part "the irony of
St. John" for he is sure that his readers will agree with him as
to the real deity of Jesus Christ. These details were probably
meant to interest Nathanael.
