September 29, 2023 — Saints Micahael, Gabriel, Raphael, archangels — Feast — Bless the LORD, all you angels, you ministers, who do his will — Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John (Jn 1: 47-51)

Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him,

“Here is a true child of Israel.
There is no duplicity in him.”

Nathanael said to him,

“How do you know me?”

Jesus answered and said to him,

“Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree.”

Nathanael answered him,

“Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.”

Jesus answered and said to him,

“Do you believe
because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree?
You will see greater things than this.”

And he said to him,

“Amen, amen, I say to you,
you will see heaven opened
and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
