SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:9

Jes�s le dice: ¿Tanto tiempo hace que estoy con vosotros, y no me has conocido, Felipe? El que me ha visto, ha visto (tambi�n) al Padre; ¿c�mo, pues, dices t�: Mu�stranos el Padre?

Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 14:9

Verse 9. He that hath seen me hath seen the Father] Could any creature say these words? Do they not evidently imply that Christ declared himself to his disciples to be the everlasting God?

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 9. Jesus saith unto him, have I been so long time with you , etc.] Conversing familiarly with you, instructing you by my ministry, and performing so many miraculous works among you, for so long a time; (see Hebrews 5:11,12); and yet hast thou not known me, Philip ? Surely you cannot be so ignorant as this comes to; as you have seen me with your bodily eyes, as a man, you must, know that I am God by the doctrines I have taught you, and the miracles I have wrought among you: and he that hath seen me ; not with the eyes of his body, but with the eyes of his understanding; he that has beheld the perfections of the Godhead in me: hath seen the Father ; the perfections which are in him also; for the same that are in me are in him, and the same that are in him are in me: I am the very image of him, and am possessed of the same nature, attributes, and glory, that he is; so that he that sees the one, sees the other: and how sayest thou then show us the Father ? such a request is a needless one, and betrays great weakness and ignorance.

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.
