john 1:46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.

john 1:46 And Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."

46. any good out of Nazareth--remembering Bethlehem, perhaps, as Messiah's predicted birthplace, and Nazareth having no express prophetic place at all, besides being in no repute. The question sprang from mere dread of mistake in a matter so vital.
Come and see--Noble remedy against preconceived opinions [BENGEL]. Philip, though he could not perhaps solve his difficulty, could show him how to get rid of it. (See on Joh 6:68).

john 1:46 And Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
