John 14:6-14
Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the
life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, you will
know my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.’ Philip
said to him, ‘Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.’ Jesus said
to him, ‘Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know
me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, “Show us the
Father”? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own; but the Father who dwells
in me does his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in
me; but if you do not, then believe me because of the works themselves. Very
truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do
and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the
Father. I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be
glorified in the Son. If in my name you ask me for anything, I will do it.
Reflection
How do I know Jesus and how do I believe in him?
Do I really believe that Jesus will do anything if I ask in
his name?
