Nathanael, also known as Bartholomew, is a disciple of Jesus who is mentioned in the New Testament. He is one of the twelve apostles and is believed to have been a close friend of Philip, another disciple.
Nathanael's encounter with Jesus is recorded in the Gospel of John, where he initially expresses skepticism about Jesus being the Messiah, but eventually becomes a follower of Jesus after a profound conversation. Despite not being mentioned as frequently as some of the other disciples, Nathanael's story serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of encountering Jesus.
