Juan 14:5

5 —No, Señor, no lo conocemos —dijo Tomás—. No tenemos ni idea de adónde vas, ¿cómo vamos a conocer el camino?

Juan 14:5 Meaning and Commentary

John 14:5

Thomas saith unto him, Lord
Who was one of his apostles, and here betrays his ignorance, as elsewhere his unbelief; and not only speaks for himself, but for the rest of the apostles, of whom he judged by himself; and who, it may be, might understand things better than himself, though their knowledge at present was but small:

we know not whither thou goest;
though he had but just told them of his Father's house, and of his going to prepare a place for them:

and how can we know the way?
for if we do not know the place, it is not reasonable to think we should know the way to it. Thomas seemed to have no other notion than that Christ was talking of some particular place in Judea, whither he was going, and of the road to it.

Juan 14:5 In-Context

3 Cuando todo esté listo, volveré para llevarlos, para que siempre estén conmigo donde yo estoy.

4 Y ustedes conocen el camino que lleva adonde voy.

5 —No, Señor, no lo conocemos —dijo Tomás—. No tenemos ni idea de adónde vas, ¿cómo vamos a conocer el camino?

6 Jesús le contestó:

7 Si ustedes realmente me conocieran, también sabrían quién es mi Padre.
De ahora en adelante, ya lo conocen y lo han visto.
