Lectionary

January -19-2025 Second Sunday after Epiphany(Dhanaha)

John 1:43-51

43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.

44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.

47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.

49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.

51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

43 പിറ്റെന്നാൾ യേശു ഗലീലെക്കു പുറപ്പെടുവാൻ ഭാവിച്ചപ്പോൾ ഫിലിപ്പോസിനെ കണ്ടു: “എന്നെ അനുഗമിക്ക” എന്നു അവനോടു പറഞ്ഞു.
44 ഫിലിപ്പോസോ അന്ത്രെയാസിന്റെയും പത്രൊസിന്റെയും പട്ടണമായ ബേത്ത്സയിദയിൽ നിന്നുള്ളവൻ ആയിരുന്നു.
45 ഫിലിപ്പോസ് നഥനയേലിനെ കണ്ടു അവനോടു: ന്യായപ്രമാണത്തിൽ മോശെയും പ്രവാചകന്മാരും എഴുതിയിരിക്കുന്നവനെ കണ്ടെത്തിയിരിക്കുന്നു; അവൻ യോസേഫിന്റെ പുത്രനായ യേശു എന്ന നസറെത്തുകാരൻ തന്നേ എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
46 നഥനയേൽ അവനോടു: നസറെത്തിൽനിന്നു വല്ല നന്മയും വരുമോ എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു. ഫിലിപ്പോസ് അവനോടു: വന്നു കാൺക എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
47 നഥനയേൽ തന്റെ അടുക്കൽ വരുന്നതു യേശു കണ്ടു: “ഇതാ, സാക്ഷാൽ യിസ്രായേല്യൻ; ഇവനിൽ കപടം ഇല്ല ” എന്നു അവനെക്കുറിച്ചു പറഞ്ഞു.
48 നഥനയേൽ അവനോടു: എന്നെ എവിടെവെച്ചു അറിയും എന്നു ചോദിച്ചതിന്നു: “ഫിലിപ്പോസ് നിന്നെ വിളിക്കുംമുമ്പെ നീ അത്തിയുടെ കീഴിൽ ഇരിക്കുമ്പോൾ ഞാൻ നിന്നെ കണ്ടു” എന്നു യേശു ഉത്തരം പറഞ്ഞു.
49 നഥനയേൽ അവനോടു: റബ്ബീ, നീ ദൈവപുത്രൻ, നീ യിസ്രായേലിന്റെ രാജാവു എന്നു ഉത്തരം പറഞ്ഞു.
50 യേശു അവനോടു: “ഞാൻ നിന്നെ അത്തിയുടെ കീഴിൽ കണ്ടു എന്നു നിന്നോടു പറകകൊണ്ടു നീ വിശ്വസിക്കുന്നുവോ? നീ ഇതിനെക്കാൾ വലിയതു കാണും” എന്നു ഉത്തരം പറഞ്ഞു.
51 “ആമേൻ ആമേൻ ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളോടു പറയുന്നു: സ്വർഗ്ഗം തുറന്നിരിക്കുന്നതും മനുഷ്യപുത്രന്റെ അടുക്കൽ ദൈവദൂതന്മാർ കയറുകയും ഇറങ്ങുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നതും നിങ്ങൾ കാണും” എന്നും അവനോടു പറഞ്ഞു.
