Nathanael: an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile — John 1:43-51 walked through G. Campbell Morgan's study.
The Great Physician (G. Campbell Morgan Sermon Breakdown). Matt Hepner and TopLobsta go through Morgan's study of how Jesus dealt personally with individual people in the Gospels, one person per episode.

How Jesus saw Nathanael (Bartholomew) under the fig tree: Philip finds him, Jesus names him an Israelite indeed with no guile, and promises greater things — heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. From G. Campbell Morgan's classic chapter on Nathanael.

Primary passage: John 1:43-51 (KJV)

Also in this episode: John 1:47 · John 21 · Matthew · Mark · Luke (Bartholomew / Nathanael identity)
