SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:5
Le dice Toms: Seor, no sabemos a dnde vas, ¿cmo, pues, podemos saber el camino?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 14:5
Verse 5. Lord, we know not] Thomas, perhaps, thought that our Lord only spoke of his going some distance from the place where he then was.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 5. Thomas saith unto him, Lord , etc.] Who was one of his apostles, and here betrays his ignorance, as elsewhere his unbelief; and not only speaks for himself, but for the rest of the apostles, of whom he judged by himself; and who, it may be, might understand things better than himself, though their knowledge at present was but small: we know not whither thou goest ; though he had but just told them of his Fathers house, and of his going to prepare a place for them: and how can we know the way ? for if we do not know the place, it is not reasonable to think we should know the way to it. Thomas seemed to have no other notion than that Christ was talking of some particular place in Judea, whither he was going, and of the road to it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-11 - Here are three words, upon any of which stress may be laid. Upon the word troubled. Be not cast down and disquieted. The word heart. Le your heart be kept with full trust in God. The word your. Howeve others are overwhelmed with the sorrows of this present time, be no you so. Christ's disciples, more than others, should keep their mind quiet, when everything else is unquiet. Here is the remedy against thi trouble of mind, "Believe." By believing in Christ as the Mediato between God and man, we gain comfort. The happiness of heaven is spoke of as in a father's house. There are many mansions, for there are man sons to be brought to glory. Mansions are lasting dwellings. Chris will be the Finisher of that of which he is the Author or Beginner; i he have prepared the place for us, he will prepare us for it. Christ is the sinner's Way to the Father and to heaven, in his person as God manifest in the flesh, in his atoning sacrifice, and as our Advocate He is the Truth, as fulfilling all the prophecies of a Saviour believing which, sinners come by him the Way. He is the Life, by whose life-giving Spirit the dead in sin are quickened. Nor can any man dra nigh God as a Father, who is not quickened by Him as the Life, an taught by Him as the Truth, to come by Him as the Way. By Christ, a the Way, our prayers go to God, and his blessings come to us; this is the Way that leads to rest, the good old Way. He is the Resurrectio and the Life. All that saw Christ by faith, saw the Father in Him. I the light of Christ's doctrine, they saw God as the Father of lights and in Christ's miracles, they saw God as the God of power. The holiness of God shone in the spotless purity of Christ's life. We ar to believe the revelation of God to man in Christ; for the works of the Redeemer show forth his own glory, and God in him.

5. And how can we know (kai pwv dunameqa thn odon eidenai). The best texts substitute oidamen, know we, for dunameqa, can we; reading, how know we the way. So Rev. Some also omit and before how.
