King James Bible
"Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?"
Jesus expresses gentle disappointment that Philip, after years of witnessing His ministry and teachings, still fails to recognize His true identity. This rhetorical question emphasizes the disciples' slowness to grasp that Jesus embodies God's full revelation despite their intimate companionship. This profound declaration asserts Jesus's complete unity with God—not merely as a representative but as the perfect visible expression of the invisible Father. In the context of Jewish monotheism, this claim to divine equality would have been revolutionary. Jesus challenges Philip's request as fundamentally misguided, since seeking to see the Father apart from Jesus misses the entire point of the Incarnation. The question underscores that no additional revelation is needed beyond what Christ has already shown them.
