John 14:9-11
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.
Philip did not understand that seeing the Son of God meant he was also seeing the Father - they are the same God who said let Us make man in our image. All that time Jesus was with the disciples He spoke words as no mere mortal, just as He discussed detailed knowledge and understanding with scholars while only 12 years old. The living Word and Son in the Father and the Father in the Son spoke and did wonders that man cannot. So we see God in Christ, backed by all He said and did.
