Namesake

I was reading this today, and it just really struck me as cool. This is the guy i am named for. I think my parents did a good job.
Yochanan 1:47
Philip : "We've found the one that Moshe wrote about in the Torah, also the prophets- it's Yeshua Ben-Yosef from Natzeret!"
Natan'el : "Natzeret? Can anything good come from there?"
Philip: "Come and see,"
Yeshua saw Natan'el coming toward him
Yeshua: "Here's a true son of Isra'el- Nothing false in him!"
Natan'el: "How so you know me?"
Yeshua: "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree i saw you."
Natan'el : "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Isra'el!
Yeshua: "You believe all this just because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than that! Yes, indeed! I tell you that you will see heaven Opened and the angels of God going up and coming down on the Son of Man!
