John Gill Commentary John 14:8

"Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us." — John 14:8 (ASV)

Philip saith to him, Lord
Another of his disciples addresses him in a reverend and becoming manner, as Thomas before had done, calling him Lord, and saying to him, "show us the Father, and it sufficeth us": he speaks in the name of them all, seems to own their ignorance of the Father, and expresses their desire of seeing him:

shew us the Father ;
it was a corporeal sight of him he asked for; such a sight of the glory of God as Moses desired, and the elders of Israel had at Mount Sinai; and signifies, that if this could be obtained, it would give them full satisfaction:

and it sufficeth us ;
we shall be no more uneasy at your departure from us; we shall have no doubt about your Father's house, and the many mansions in it; or of yourself, as the way unto it, and of our everlasting abode with you in it; we shall sit down easy and contented, and trouble time no more with questions about this matter.
