John 14:5

5. Thomas… whither… way? Thomas, here, seems contradictory, but he is only doubtful. In fact, he is putting an experimental question. He somewhat exaggerates his own ignorance, to draw out from the Lord a more explicit explanation of his destination and departure. He knows not the whither, that is, the terminus; and how, then, can he know the way to it. He hopes that our Lord will give a full description, at least a verbal map, of the region to which he goes, and the route by which he attains it.
