John 14:7-14
If
you had known me, you would have known my Father also; henceforth you know him
and have seen him." Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father,
and we shall be satisfied." Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you
so long, and yet you do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the
Father; how can you say, `Show us the Father'? Do you not believe that I am in
the Father and the Father in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on
my own authority; but the Father who dwells in me does his works. Believe me
that I am in the Father and the Father in me; or else believe me for the sake
of the works themselves. "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in
me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do,
because I go to the Father. Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that the
Father may be glorified in the Son; if you ask anything in my name, I will do
it.”
