The last sentences are confusing. According to the List_of_names_referring_to_El article, Nathanael means both (and linguistically, Nathaniel is just a variant transliteration of Nathanael...) Perhaps someone wants to fix it...--Sturmde 23:35, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

A significant number of "authorities" think that Nathanael is Matthew (both mean ("gift of God"). Probably a larger number have no opinion on the matter. I will clean this up later if there is no objection. --Peter Kirby 07:15, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

I deleted this: someone who is an awesome person or someone who possesses great knowledge. He usually is very strong and can make people laugh. If, by any chance, though, he has a brother named Kenneth or Kenny, he will be cursed forever and be doomed to live a horrible life with this Kenny. Sounded like vandalism to me. Please correct me if i'm wrong. 13:14, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Every version of the Bible that I found uses the "ael" ending for Nathanael.
