Moses and the Prophets Wrote About the Son of God

Scripture: “The next day Jesus wanted to go to the country of Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow Me.” Philip was from the town of Bethsaida. Andrew and Peter were from this town also. Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law. He is the One the early preachers wrote about. He is Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of Joseph.” Nathanael said, “Can anything good come out of the town of Nazareth?” Philip said, “Come and see.”
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him and said, “See! There is a true Jew. There is nothing false in him.” Nathanael said to Jesus, “How do You know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip talked to you, I saw you under the fig tree.” Nathanael said to Him, “Teacher, You are the Son of God. You are the King of the Jews.” Jesus said to him, “Do you believe because I said I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than that. For sure, I tell you, you will see heaven opened and God’s angels going up and coming and down on the Son of Man.”  (John 1:43-51)
Sometimes people say Jesus never claimed to be the Son of God. In this passage, Nathanael calls Him the Son of God, and Jesus calls this believing, telling him he'll see even greater things.
