NATHANAEL

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 266 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NAN-NEW
NATHANAEL , a
character
  in the New Testament, who appears in John i. 45 sqq. as one of the first disciples of Jesus. In John xxi. 2 he is described as belonging to
Cana
  of Galilee. The account of his
call
  reveals to us a man of a deeply spiritual and sincere nature. Otherwise we know nothing beyond the mention of his name as one of the seven to whom, after the Resurrection, Christ revealed himself at the sea of Tiberias (John xxi. 2). But the
interest
  he has evoked is shown by the attempts to identify him with other New Testament characters. Of these the one which has found most favour
sees
  in him the apostle Bartholomew (q.v.). The actual identification must however remain a matter of pure conjecture. Still less can be said for the attempts to find in Nathanael another name for the apostle
Matthew
 , or for
Matthias
 , or for
Paul
  " the
apostle of visions," or even for the writer of the Fourth Gospel himself.
