On looking up and seeing a large crowd approaching, he said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread for all these people to eat?"
The disciples said to him, "Where are we to get loaves enough in a desert to satisfy such a crowd?"
You have a saying, have you not, 'Four months yet, then harvest'? Look round, I tell you; see, the fields are white for harvesting!
Next day Jesus determined to leave for Galilee; there he met Philip and told him, "Follow me."
So they went away privately in the boat to a lonely spot.
Then the apostles came back and described all they had done to Jesus. He took them and retired in private to a town called Bethsaida,
Now Philip belonged to Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter;
he met Nathanael and told him, "We have found him whom Moses wrote about in the Law, and also the prophets — it is Jesus, the son of Joseph, who comes from Nazaret."
"Nazaret!" said Nathanael, "can anything good come out of Nazaret?" "Come and see," said Philip.
Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered, "When you were under that fig tree, before ever Philip called you, I saw you."
