8: λεγει αυτω φιλιππος κυριε δειξον ημιν τον πατερα και αρκει ημιν— edit Textus Receptus
8: Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.- edit KJV text
8: Philip saith to him: Lord, shew us the Father; and it is enough for us.— edit Douay text


Lord, show us the Father. Philip here referred to some outward and visible manifestation of God. God had manifested himself in various ways to the prophets and saints of old, and Philip affirmed that if some such manifestation should be made to them they would be satisfied. It was right to desire evidence that Jesus was the Messiah, but such evidence had been afforded abundantly in the miracles and teaching of Jesus, and that should have sufficed them.
