Whoever Has Seen Me Has Seen the Father

Jesus presents himself as the true revelation of God.

Jesus teaches that knowing him is bound to knowing the Father: his words and works disclose the Father’s character and will.

Scripture

John 14:8-11
John 14:8-11

8 Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us."

9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, 'Show us the Father?'

10 Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father who lives in me does his works.

11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works' sake.
