:If Nathanael is '''''not''''' in fact the name of the apostle Bartholomew, one of the Twelve, but a different man instead, he would may have been one of those many disciples in John 6:66 who "''drew back and no longer went about with him''". But this is unlikely, since Nathanael is with the apostles, Simon Peter, Thomas, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples at the sea of Tiberias after the resurrection of the Lord. John 21:2.
:The word of Jesus in John 1:51 "'''''you''' will see''" has been interpreted varyingly (1) as addressed to Nathanael personally (2) as addressed to all the apostles present.
