Giovanni 14:8 Meaning and Commentary

John 14:8

Philip saith to him, Lord
Another of his disciples addresses him in a reverend and becoming manner, as Thomas before had done, calling him Lord, and saying to him, "show us the Father, and it sufficeth us": he speaks in the name of them all, seems to own their ignorance of the Father, and expresses their desire of seeing him:

shew us the Father;
it was a corporeal sight of him he asked for; such a sight of the glory of God as Moses desired, and the elders of Israel had at Mount Sinai; and signifies, that if this could be obtained, it would give them full satisfaction:

and it sufficeth us;
we shall be no more uneasy at thy departure from us; we shall have no doubt about thy Father's house, and the many mansions in it; or of thyself, as the way unto it, and of our everlasting abode with thee in it; we shall sit down easy and contented, and trouble time no more with questions about this matter.

Giovanni 14:8 In-Context

6 Gesù gli disse: Io son la via, la verità, e la vita; niuno viene al Padre se non per me.
7 Se voi mi aveste conosciuto, conoscereste anche il Padre; e fin da ora lo conoscete, e l’avete veduto.
8 Filippo gli disse: Signore, mostraci il Padre, e ciò ci basta.
9 Gesù gli disse: Cotanto tempo sono io già con voi, e tu non mi hai conosciuto, Filippo? chi mi ha veduto ha veduto il Padre; come dunque dici tu: Mostraci il Padre?
10 Non credi tu che io son nel Padre, e che il Padre è in me? le parole che io vi ragiono, non le ragiono da me stesso; e il Padre, che dimora in me, è quel che fa le opere.
