(A)Thomas *said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going; how do we know the way?” Jesus *said to him, “I am (B)the way, and (C)the truth, and (D)the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.

Oneness with the Father

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

(H)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? (I)The one who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that (J)I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? (K)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 (L)I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise (M)believe because of the works themselves.

Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how know we the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but [a]by me. If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how sayest thou, Show us the Father? 10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I say unto you I speak not from myself: but the Father abiding in me doeth his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
