6 Jesus answered, “I ama the wayb and the truthc and the life.d No one comes to the Father except through me.e 7 If you really know me, you will knowb my Father as well.f From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

8 Philipg said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”

9 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.h 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?i The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority.j 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.k 12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believesl in me will do the works I have been doing,m and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you askn 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.

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

15 “If you love me, keep my commands.o 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocatep to help you and be with you forever—17 the Spirit of truth.q The world cannot accept him,r because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will bec in you.
