Philip's question, which is recorded in John 14:8, precedes a lengthy discourse by Jesus which runs from verse 9 through verse 21, but Jesus' immediate response to the question was:
"Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?" [NKJV]
Here is the Scripture that you refer to: Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake (John 14.11) Jesus said this in response to Philip's question, "Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us." (John 14.8) Philip was one of Jesus' twelve disciples and had seen many of Jesus' miracles, and Jesus was reminding him that: "he that hath seen me hath seen the Father;" (John 14.9) And - "he doeth the works." (John 14.10) And so Jesus' works prove his statement: Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? (John 14.10)
Jesus prayed continuously, the Father's will, not His. His entire life was to be of service to the Heavenly Father, an example for all people on earth.
Philip of Jesus was born in 1572.
Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 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? (John 14.8,9)
Jesus didn't give us the father, but Jesus said to his disciples several times "if you have seen me you have seen the father".Joh 14:8 Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us."Jesus showed them the father because he was God the very image of Him, and possessed of the same nature, attributes, and glory, so that a person who sees the one, sees the other:
because may be 1) reveals by the Father that Jesus is the Messiah, 2) intuitively know that Jesus is the long waited Messiah, 3) Jesus told him he is the Messiah or show him some miracles to him and he instantly believe Jesus is the Messiah 4) he had a dream last night that today he will meet the Messiah 5) Philip believed the testament of John the baptist who said that Jesus is the Messiah, I think he is one of the most faithful disciple of John the baptist. Jesus saw his total faith that Philip believed that he is the Messiah, therefore Jesus choose him.
In John 14:8, Philip asked jesus to show them (the other disciples) the Father. Jesus answered, "Have I been so long time with you and yet hast thounot known me, Philip? he that has seen me has seen the father". Jesus and the father are alike in every way. You see Jesus, you see the Father. Read and study about Jesus and you will know exactely what God is like. God is gracious and merciful, loving, forgiving, just, and completely sinless and holy. (abreviated list.)
PHILIP
Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?"6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.7 "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him." 8 Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us." 9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me?"---Call 1888-Need Him for more questions--Jesus loves you and He died for you
The bible does not mention exactly what Philip did as a profession.
Satan wanted Jesus to turn stones into bread, since Jesus was fasting. Jesus reminded Satan that man does not live by bread alone. The point was, you must feed your soul as well as your body, and if you have to pick, you save your immortal soul.
Even though Jesus is God, there are three Persons of the Trinity. The Father is the Will of God, Jesus is the Word of God , and the Holy Spirit is the one who helps and comforts us in our Christian walk, among other things.Jesus didn't exercise his own will but wanted to fulfill what the Father's will was. That should be our mandate as Christians as well.
