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.

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.
