Giovanni 14:9

Listen to Giovanni 14:9
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?

Giovanni 14:9 Meaning and Commentary

John 14:9

Jesus saith unto him, have I been so long time with you,
&c.] Conversing familiarly with you, instructing you by my ministry, and performing so many miraculous works among you, for so long a time; see ( Hebrews 5:11 Hebrews 5:12 ) ;

and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?
Surely you cannot be so ignorant as this comes to; as you have seen me with your bodily eyes, as a man, you must, know that I am God by the doctrines I have taught you, and the miracles I have wrought among you: and

he that hath seen me;
not with the eyes of his body, but with the eyes of his understanding; he that has beheld the perfections of the Godhead in me:

hath seen the Father;
the perfections which are in him also; for the same that are in me are in him, and the same that are in him are in me: I am the very image of him, and am possessed of the same nature, attributes, and glory, that he is; so that he that sees the one, sees the other:

and how sayest thou then show us the Father?
such a request is a needless one, and betrays great weakness and ignorance.

Giovanni 14:9 In-Context

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.
11 Credetemi ch’io son nel Padre, e che il Padre è in me; se no, credetemi per esse opere.
