45 Philip found Nathanael and told him, " We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote--Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
Nathaniel (less frequently, Nathanael, Nathanial or Nathanel) is a given name derived from the Greek form of the Hebrew נְתַנְאֵל (Netan'el), meaning "God has given".
The name is borne by an apostle of Christ, according to the Gospel of John (1:45; 21:2).
