According to the Gospel according to Jean | , Nathanaël is a galiléen called by Jesus to become his disciple.

Nathanael means “given by the lord” or “gift of God”.

Identification

Nathanaël was a disciple of Jesus who had been introduced to him by Philippe; it appears only in the Gospel of Jean (Jn 1:43 - 51). It was of Cana as a Galileo (Jn 21:2). As the name of Barthelemy followed that of Philippe in the list of the Twelve Apostles, Nathanaël was comparable for him. However not more than Augustin d' Hippone (Homélie 7:17) Épiphane de Salamine did not confuse them. Indeed he wrote in his Panarion that Nathanaël was this companion going on the road with Cléopas the evening of Resurrection (Notification on Luc 24:18 in margin of the codex V of the 9th century). However Nathanaël could not be one of the Apostles, since while returning to Jerusalem the two companions atrouvèrent assembled the Eleven. He is the only disciple as a Jean whose Jesus spoke in praise: “Here in truth a Jew in which there is no fraud”. Israel was the name given by the Angel to Jacob. And Nathanaël to recognize as a Jesus the Son of God and the king of Israel. Before all the others, before Pierre, he confessed the messianity of Jesus thus. Jesus then evoked in front of him the dream which the patriarch had made in Béthel: “And you will see the angels God to go up and go down to the top from the Son of man”. The made promise with Jacob was renewed in front of Nathanaël which became to some extent new Jacob.

It is necessary with certain authors like David Catchpole to wonder whether Nathanaël were not “the disciple only Jesus aimait". Named at the beginning of the Gospel, its mention precedes the marriage in Cana in which it was originating; it is thus not impossible that he was the husband, with the intention of which Jesus changed water into wine. It reappears at the time of the last meal, resting on the chest of Jesus. It is then with the door of the house of the high priest, with the foot of the cross, then running with Pierre to the tomb. Finally it is again named and like Nathanaël and the beloved disciple in the final chapter, where it is jalousé by Pierre. Wasn't Nathanaël a nickname behind which Jacques the Juste hid, the brother of the Lord. One knows by Paul that it was married (1 Co 9:5) and by Luc which his wife was called Marie (Luc 24:10).
