Juan 14:5

5 Tomás le dijo<***>: Señor, si no sabemos 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 Y si me voy y preparo un lugar para vosotros, vendré otra vez y os tomaré conmigo; para que donde yo estoy, allí estéis también vosotros.

4 Y conocéis el camino adonde voy .

5 Tomás le dijo<***>: Señor, si no sabemos adónde vas, ¿cómo vamos a conocer el camino?

6 Jesús le dijo<***>: Yo soy el camino, y la verdad, y la vida; nadie viene al Padre sino por mí.

7 Si me hubierais conocido, también hubierais conocido a mi Padre; desde ahora le conocéis y le habéis visto.
