Commentary on John 1:46

Theological / Devotional

Any good thing. There is a tinge of scorn in Nathanael’s rejoinder to Philip’s thrilling announcement. Nathanael was from Cana (ch. 21:2), but a short distance from Nazareth, and doubtless spoke from firsthand knowledge.

Nazareth. See on Matt. 2:23.

Come and see. Compare v. 29. To meet Jesus face to face would be more convincing evidence than a lengthy argument. Thus it is today. The only way to obtain positive evidence of the certainty of faith in Christ is to experience it.
