John 14:7–16

⁷If you really knew me, you would know my Father, too. But now you do know him, and you have seen him.”

⁸Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father. That is all we need.”

⁹Jesus answered, “I have been with you a long time now. Do you still not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. So why do you say, ‘Show us the Father’? ¹⁰Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words I say to you don’t come from me, but the Father lives in me and does his own work. ¹¹Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Or believe because of the miracles I have done. ¹²I tell you the truth, whoever believes in me will do the same things that I do. Those who believe will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. ¹³And if you ask for anything in my name, I will do it for you so that the Father’s glory will be shown through the Son. ¹⁴If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it.
