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)

If you really know me, you will know[a] my Father as well.(A) From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

Philip(B) 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.(C) 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?(D) The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority.(E) 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.(F) 12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes(G) in me will do the works I have been doing,(H) and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask(I) 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.
