Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
John 14:9
Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
John 14:9
This verse seems to claim that Jesus and the Father are one.
But the previous verse sets the context.
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
John 14:8
Jesus is being asked to show the Father. To which, Jesus replies I have been with you so long, and yet you have not known me? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you ask to see the Father?
So Jesus simply told him that his own actions and miracles should be a sufficient proof of the existence of God without God having to physically come down and let Himself be seen every time someone is doubtful.
