This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Joh 1:49. Ἀπεκρίθη, he answered) Considerate quickness in believing brings with it a blessed [sumptuous] portion: slowness is censured, Luk 24:25, “O fools, and slow of heart to believe.”-σὺ εἶ ὁ ὑιος τοῦ Θεοῦ, Thou art the Son of God) ch. Joh 6:69, “We believe and are sure that Thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.” Now Nathanael himself confesses more than he had heard from Philip: and retracts his doubt as to the goodness of Jesus.-ὁ ὑιός-ὁ βασιλεύς, the Son-the King) A confession as to the person and office of Christ. σὺ εἶ ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, Thou art the King of Israel) and so my King also, since Thou dost acknowledge me to be a genuine Israelite.
