Jesus Reveals the Father

7“If you know Me, you will also know bMy Father. cFrom now on you do know Him dand have seen Him.”

8“Lord,” said Philip, e“show us the Father, and that’s enough for us.”

9Jesus 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. fHow can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? gThe words I speak to you I do not speak on My own. hThe Father who lives in Me does His works. i11Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me. Otherwise, believe jbecause of the works themselves. k

Praying in Jesus’ Name

12“•I assure you: The one who believes in Me lwill also do the works that I do. And he will do even greater works than these, mbecause I am going to the Father. n13Whatever you ask in My name, I will do it so that the Father may be glorified oin the Son. p14If you ask Me qanything in My name, rI will do it. st

Another Counselor Promised

15“If you love Me, you will keep uMy commands. v16And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another •Counselor wto be with you forever.
