João 14:8

The Eleven regarded Jesus very highly. Notwithstanding they did not yet realize that He was such an accurate and full revelation of God the Father that to see Jesus was to see the Father. Philip asked for a clear revelation of the Father that would satisfy the Eleven. He apparently wanted Jesus to give them a theophany (Exodus 24:9-10; Isaiah 6:1). People throughout history have desired to see God as He really is (cf. Exodus 33:18). Jesus in His incarnation made that revelation of the Father more clearly, fully, and finally than anyone else ever had (John 1:14; John 1:18; John 12:45; cf. Hebrews 1:1-2).
