Jesus
said to Thomas, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the
Father except through me. If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From
now on you do know him and have seen him.” Philip said to him, “Master, show us
the Father, and that will be enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been
with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever 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 is in me? The words that I speak
to you I do not speak on my own. The Father who dwells in me is doing his
works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else,
believe because of the works themselves. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever
believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than
these, because I am going to the Father. And whatever you ask in my name, I
will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything of
me in my name, I will do it.”
