The first people we see Jesus interacting WITH beyond a quick conversations are his disciples.  Particularly we are looking at how Philip and Nathanael are different. How one heard Jesus and believed and was overjoyed, and how the other, was skeptical. Nathanael couldn’t wrap his brain around how the Messiah could come from Nazareth.  His head and his hart struggled. We first see, Philips wisdom in not trying to argue, or push the point only that he pauses and invites. Then Jesus takes over.
