The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:8-21
Philip's questioning. This disciple, one of the earliest, seizes upon the last word of our Lord and asks for a bodily sight of the Father. I. PHILIP 'S DEMAND TO SEE THE FATHER . "Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us." 1. It is hard to decide how much of ignorance is compatible with saving grace . 2. Evidently Philip thought of such a revelation of God as was vouchsafed to Moses in answer to the request , " Lord , show me thy glory ." 3. He... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:9
Christ's reply is, Have I been so long a period ( χρόνον ) with you, and hast thou not come to know ( ἔγνωκάς ) me, Philip ? (Compare the aorist δεῖξον , suggesting one great complete sufficing act, with the perfect forms, ἔγνωκάς με ἐωρακὼς ἐόρακε , implying a process continuing from the past into the present,) The revelation of the Father, rather than an unveiling of the absolute God whom no man hath ever yet seen (see John 1:18 ), had been constantly going on... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:9
Acquaintance and yet ignorance. I. PHILIP 'S ACQUAINTANCE WITH JESUS . Philip would have spoken with the utmost sincerity and not without justification if he had said that certainly he knew Jesus. In Bethabara beyond Jordan he had heard the voice, "Follow me," and he had followed wherever he was allowed to follow. In a certain sense it was perfectly true that Philip knew Jesus. In the darkness he would have recognized the Master's voice and even his footsteps. In that which is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:10
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me ? Philip had heard in an inverted order these very words (see John 10:38 ). He might have grasped their meaning; two aspects of the same Divine truth or reality—the reciprocal fellowship between the Father and the Son, between the Father and the Effulgence of the Father's glory who is now the God-Man. I am in the Father, I the God-Man am in the Father, as the Loges has ever been in him and proceeding from him. I, who was... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 14:9
So long time - For more than three years Jesus had been with them. He had raised the dead, cast out devils, healed the sick, done those things which no one could have done who had not come from God. In that time they had had full opportunity to learn his character and his mission from God. Nor was it needful, after so many proofs of his divine mission, that God should “visibly manifest” himself to them in order that they might be convinced that he came from him.He that hath seen me - He that... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 14:10
I am in the Father - See the notes at John 10:38.The words that I speak ... - See the notes at John 7:16-17.The Father that dwelleth in me - Literally, “The Father remaining in me.” This denotes most intimate union, so that the works which Jesus did might be said to be done by the Father. It implies a more intimate union than can subsist between a mere man and God. Had Jesus been a mere man, like the prophets, he would have said, “The Father who sent or commissioned me doeth the works;” but... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 14:8-11
John 14:8-11. Philip One of the apostles, hearing these words; saith unto him With a pious ardour becoming his character; Lord, show us the Father Do but bring us to the sight and enjoyment of him; and it sufficeth us It is happiness enough for us; we desire no more, and resign every other hope in comparison of this. “It is hard to say, whether Philip as yet understood who the Father was, of whom his Master spake. If he did, we cannot suppose that he asked a sight of the divine... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 14:1-14
143. The way to the Father (John 14:1-14)The disciples by now surely knew that Jesus was soon to die. He therefore comforted them by saying he was going to his Father to prepare a permanent dwelling place for them, and one day he would return to take them to be with him for ever. He had told them often enough that if they followed him as loyal followers, they would share in his final victory (John 14:1-4).Thomas misunderstood, thinking that Jesus was speaking of a physical location and a... read more
