I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life

8 r Philip said to him, "Lord, s show us the Father, and it is enough for us." 9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? t Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10 Do you not believe that u I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you v I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11 Believe me that u I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else w believe on account of the works themselves.

12 "Truly, truly, I say to you, x whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I y am going to the Father. 13 z Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that a the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 z If you ask me 1 anything in my name, I will do it.
