45: Philip findeth Nathanael and saith to him: We have found him of
whom Moses, in the law and the prophets did write, Jesus the son of
Joseph of Nazareth.
Moses, in the law. Moses, in that part of the Old Testament which he wrote, called by the Jews the law. See Deut 18:15, Deut 18:18, Gen 49:10, Gen 3:15. And the prophets, Isa 53:1ff, Isa 9:6, Isa 9:7 Dan 9:24ff; Jer 13:5, Jer 13:6; &c.
Jesus of Nazareth, &c. They spoke according to common apprehension. They spoke of him as the son of Joseph because he was commonly supposed to be. They spoke of him as dwelling at Nazareth, though they might not have been ignorant that he was born at Bethlehem.
