Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.(A) If you know me, you will know[a] my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”

Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?(B) 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.(C) 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, but if you do not, then believe[b] because of the works themselves.(D) 12 Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If in my name you ask me[c] for anything, I will do it.

Philip(G) said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”

Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.(H) How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?(I) The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority.(J) Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.(K) 12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes(L) in me will do the works I have been doing,(M) and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask(N) in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
