“Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.”
Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: for if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also — the Pharisees ask mockingly, 'Where is thy Father?' as if to demand visible evidence. Jesus responds by pointing to a deeper problem: they do not know him (even though they have heard his teaching and seen his works), and therefore they cannot know the Father. Knowledge of Jesus and knowledge of the Father are inseparable (14:7). The lack of faith prevents both recognitions. Their refusal is not due to insufficient evidence but to willful blindness.
