Bartholomew (Nathanael)

Nathanael of Cana · No Deceit

In Mark’s Gospel

  • Named among the twelve as Bartholomew

    Mark 3:18

  • Scripture records no other Bartholomew-specific moments in Mark.

Who they were

  • Honest and guileless — Jesus himself testified: "in whom there is no deceit" (John 1:47)
  • Skeptical but open — questioned Nazareth, then believed fully when confronted with truth (John 1:46-49)
  • A true seeker — was under the fig tree (a traditional place of prayer and Scripture study) when Jesus saw him (John 1:48)
