Oneness with the Father

(A)If you [a]had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you (B)know Him, and have (C)seen Him.”

(D)Philip *said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” Jesus *said to him, “Have I been with [b]you for so long a time, and yet [c]you have not come to know Me, Philip? (E)The one who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that (F)I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? (G)The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own, but the Father, as He remains in Me, does His works. 11 Believe Me that (H)I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise (I)believe because of the works themselves. 12 Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and (J)greater works than these he will do; because (K)I am going to the Father. 13 And (L)whatever you ask in My name, this I will do, so that (M)the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask Me anything (N)in My name, I will do it.

15 (O)If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

  1. John 14:7 Two early mss have come to know...you will know
  2. John 14:9 I.e., you plural, the disciples
  3. John 14:9 I.e., you singular, Philip

If you had really known me, you would know who my Father is.[a] From now on, you do know him and have seen him!”

Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.”

Jesus replied, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still don’t know who I am? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why are you asking me to show him to you? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words I speak are not my own, but my Father who lives in me does his work through me. 11 Just believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Or at least believe because of the work you have seen me do.

12 “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. 13 You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. 14 Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
