New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 Where [I] am going you know the way.”[a] 5 Thomas said to him, “Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth[b] and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.(A) 7 If you know me, then you will also know my Father.[c] From now on you do know him and have seen him.”(B)

- 14:7 An alternative reading, “If you knew me, then you would have known my Father also,” would be a rebuke, as in Jn 8:19.
