    Chris - In Reply on John 1 - 4 years ago
    In John 1:47, the commendation given to Nathanael as one who had no guile, is understood as 'without deceit or treachery'. This meaning is taken from the Greek, 'dolos'. Similarly, in our present English usage, the meaning is similar: 'insidious cunning in attaining a goal; crafty or artful deception; duplicity.'

    So, Nathanael wasn't sinless, rather that Jesus had already observed his person & his heart (1:48), thus declaring him as innocent from any deceptive working of his mind. This observation not only confirmed to Nathanael Who Jesus was, but that not only bad things & people emanated from Nazareth & Galilee, as these cities were known for (1:46).
