Jesus Reveals the Father

“If you know Me, you will also know[a] My Father.(A) From now on you do know Him(B) and have seen Him.”

“Lord,” said Philip,(C) “show us the Father, and that’s enough for us.”

Jesus said to him, “Have I been among you all this time without your knowing Me, Philip? The one who has seen Me has seen the Father.(D) How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me?(E) The words I speak to you I do not speak on My own.(F) The Father who lives in Me does His works.(G) 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me. Otherwise, believe[b] because of the works themselves.(H)

Praying in Jesus’ Name

12 “I assure you: The one who believes in Me(I) will also do the works that I do. And he will do even greater works than these,(J) because I am going to the Father.(K) 13 Whatever you ask in My name, I will do it so that the Father may be glorified(L) in the Son.(M) 14 If you ask Me[c] anything in My name,(N) I will do it.[d](O)
