14:5 多馬對他說：「主啊，我們不知道你往哪裡去，怎麼知道那條路呢？」
14:6 耶穌說：「我就是道路、真理、生命；若不藉著我，沒有人能到父那裡去。
14:7 你們若認識我，也就認識我的父。從今以後，你們認識他，並且已經看見他。」
14:8 腓力對他說：「求主將父顯給我們看，我們就知足了。」
14:9 耶穌對他說：「腓力，我與你們同在這樣長久，你還不認識我嗎？人看見了我，就是看見了父；你怎麼說『將父顯給我們看』呢？
14:10 我在父裡面，父在我裡面，你不信嗎？我對你們所說的話，不是憑著自己說的，乃是住在我裡面的父做他自己的事。
14:11 你們當信我，我在父裡面，父在我裡面；即或不信，也當因我所做的事信我。
14:12 我實實在在地告訴你們，我所做的事，信我的人也要做，並且要做比這更大的事，因為我往父那裡去。
14:13 你們奉我的名無論求甚麼，我必成就，叫父因兒子得榮耀。
14:14 你們若奉我的名求甚麼，我必成就。」
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know[b] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”
9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. 12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
***************
主耶穌在這裡向門徒說明自己和父的關係，讓我們感受到父與子有美好的交通，是和諧的合一，不是緊張的互相競爭。並且向門徒說到，唯有透過耶穌基督人才可以認識父！
認識父不是靠想像，不是靠人的論述，而是藉由耶穌基督，這是唯一的道路！雖然上帝是不可見，但是主耶穌基督卻讓父在祂身上彰顯，成為可見得！正如祂與門徒的對話：「我就是道路、真理、生命；若不藉著我，沒有人能到父那裡去。你們若認識我，也就認識我的父。從今以後，你們認識他，並且已經看見他。」「我與你們同在這樣長久，你還不認識我嗎？人看見了我，就是看見了父」
不僅如此，我們禱告更是要奉主耶穌的名，正如主耶穌對門徒說：「你們奉我的名無論求甚麼，我必成就，叫父因兒子得榮耀。你們若奉我的名求甚麼，我必成就。」
也因為如此，我們要常常在聖靈的引導下，讓耶穌基督的救恩成就在我們的身上，靠主耶穌與上帝親近！
