Juan 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.

Juan 14:8 In-Context

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.

8 Felipe le dijo:
—Señor, muéstranos al Padre y quedaremos conformes.

9 Jesús respondió:

10 ¿Acaso no crees que yo estoy en el Padre y el Padre está en mí? Las palabras que yo digo no son mías, sino que mi Padre, quien vive en mí, hace su obra por medio de mí.
