John 14:8
Show us (deicon hmin). Philip now speaks up, possibly hoping for a theophany (Exodus 33:18 f.), certainly not grasping the idea of Jesus just expressed.
6 Jesus said to him, “I am athe way, bthe truth, and cthe life. dNo one comes to the Father eexcept through Me.
The Father Revealed
7 a“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”
8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? aHe who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 Do you not believe that aI am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you bI do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.
11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, aor else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.
