João 14:5

Jesus, o Caminho para o Pai

5 Disse-lhe Tomé: “Senhor, não sabemos para onde vais; como então podemos saber o caminho?”

João 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.

João 14:5 In-Context

3 E, quando eu for e preparar lugar, voltarei e os levarei para mim, para que vocês estejam onde eu estiver.

4 Vocês conhecem o caminho para onde vou”.

5 Disse-lhe Tomé: “Senhor, não sabemos para onde vais; como então podemos saber o caminho?”

6 Respondeu Jesus: “Eu sou o caminho, a verdade e a vida. Ninguém vem ao Pai, a não ser por mim.

7 Se vocês realmente me conhecessem, conheceriam também o meu Pai. Já agora vocês o conhecem e o têm visto”.
