(They did not understand that he was telling them about his Father.)

(Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God – he has seen the Father.)

Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be content.”

The one who hates me hates my Father too.

They will do these things because they have not known the Father or me.

concerning righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer;

so that all people will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

Then they began asking him, “Who is your father?” Jesus answered, “You do not know either me or my Father. If you knew me you would know my Father too.”

Jesus replied, “Have I been with you for so long, and you have not known me, Philip? The person who has seen me has seen the Father! How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

Jesus answered, “I am not possessed by a demon, but I honor my Father – and yet you dishonor me.

If you have known me, you will know my Father too. And from now on you do know him and have seen him.”

Then I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you forever –

Jesus replied, “Do not touch me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father. Go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”

“Do not suppose that I will accuse you before the Father. The one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have placed your hope.

Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so the one who consumes me will live because of me.

You people are doing the deeds of your father.” Then they said to Jesus, “We were not born as a result of immorality! We have only one Father, God himself.”

just as the Father knows me and I know the Father – and I lay down my life for the sheep.

Jesus replied, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

but I am doing just what the Father commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Get up, let us go from here.”

At that time you will ask in my name, and I do not say that I will ask the Father on your behalf.
