Matthew Poole and continuators on John 1:50

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 then these .

Christ incourageth the beginnings of faith in the Souls of his people, and magnifies Nathanael's faith from the Revelation which he had, which was but imperfect; for Christ had said no more, than that he had seen him under the fig-tree, before Philip called him.

He tells him that he should see greater things than these. To him that hath, shall be given. What those greater things are, which our Lord here meaneth, he telleth him (in part at least, v. 51.)
