João 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.

João 14:8 In-Context

6 Respondeu Jesus: “Eu sou o caminho, a verdade e a vida. NinguĂ©m vem ao Pai, a nĂŁo ser por mim.
7 Se vocĂȘs realmente me conhecessem, conheceriam tambĂ©m o meu Pai. JĂĄ agora vocĂȘs o conhecem e o tĂȘm visto”.
8 Disse Filipe: “Senhor, mostra-nos o Pai, e isso nos basta”.
9 Jesus respondeu: “VocĂȘ nĂŁo me conhece, Filipe, mesmo depois de eu ter estado com vocĂȘs durante tanto tempo? Quem me vĂȘ, vĂȘ o Pai. Como vocĂȘ pode dizer: ‘Mostra-nos o Pai’?
10 VocĂȘ nĂŁo crĂȘ que eu estou no Pai e que o Pai estĂĄ em mim? As palavras que eu digo nĂŁo sĂŁo apenas minhas. Ao contrĂĄrio, o Pai, que vive em mim, estĂĄ realizando a sua obra.
