trusting
our own eyes
John
1:43-51
“Jesus
Calls Philip and Nathanael” (NRSV)
(John)
Wesley’s Notes on the Bible
John
1
“46.
Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?
-
How cautiously should we guard against popular prejudices?
When
these had once possessed so honest a heart as that of Nathanael,
they
led him to suspect the blessed Jesus himself for an impostor,
because
he had been brought up at Nazareth. But his integrity prevailed
over
that foolish bias, and laid him open to the force of evidence,
which
a candid inquirer will always be glad to admit, even when it brings
the
most unexpected discoveries. Can any good thing - That is,
have
we ground from Scripture to expect the Messiah,
or
any eminent prophet from Nazareth? Philip saith,
Come
and see - The same answer which he had received himself
from
our Lord the day before.”
