Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him and said concerning him, See! Here is an Israelite indeed [a true descendant of Jacob], in whom there is no guile nor deceit nor falsehood nor duplicity!
Nathanael said to Jesus, How do You know me? [How is it that You know these things about me?] Jesus answered him, Before [ever] Philip called you, when you were still under the fig tree, I saw you.
John 1:47-48 Amp... Before [ever]... I saw you...
Jesus... He sees... before ever...
Before ever... we were created...
Before ever... we knew Him...
Before ever... He saw us... you... me...
And this word... saw... it captured... so I dug...
...saw... translated from the Greek... eido... meaning... to see... i.e. to turn eyes, the mind, the attention to anything... to pay attention, observe... to experience... to know, i.e. get knowledge of, understand, perceive... to have regard for one, cherish, pay attention to...
Jesus sees in a way that looks deep... into the heart... and with love...
Jesus sees... and knows...
And I find this word... eido... in another place...
... your Father knows (eido) what you need before you ask him...
Mark 6:8
He sees... and He knows... but He doesn't look to judge... He looks for our needs... because He loves... and cherishes... those He's created...
He watches over... and here... I find comfort...
my Creator...
my Heavenly Father...
He sees...
He knows... understands...
and loves...
