Gospel: John 14:6-14
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father but through me. If you know me, you will know the Father also; indeed you know him, and
you have seen him.” Philip asked him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that is enough.” Jesus said to him, “What! I have been with you so long and you still do not know me,
Philip? Whoever sees me sees the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? All that I say to you,
I do not say of myself. The Father who dwells in me is doing his own work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; at least believe it on the evidence of these
works that I do. Truly, I say to you, the one who believes in me will do the same works that I do; and he will even do greater than these, for I am going to the Father. Everything you ask
in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Indeed, anything you ask, calling upon my name, I will do it.
Reflection:
We must really thank Philip for asking a seemingly foolish
question, because his question led to some most profound
insights into the intimacy between Jesus and his Father, an
intimacy that is offered to us as well; and, as icing on the cake, a
blanket promise from Jesus that anything that we ask, calling
upon his name, he would do for us! We have other instances in
the Gospel as well, wherein the disciples ask some seemingly
absurd things, only to receive some precious words or act
of Jesus. Sample, for example, Thomas insisting on wanting to
see Jesus’ wounds and put his hand on his side (cf. Jn 20:25);
or, the disciples asking about whose sins were responsible for
the man to be born blind (cf. Jn 9: 2); or, Peter asking if forgiving
one’s brother seven times would be good enough (cf. Mt. 18:21).
What would be the one (foolish) question you want to ask Jesus
today?

Next day, the people, who had stayed on the other side, realized that only one boat had been there, and that
Jesus had not entered it with his disciples; but rather, the disciples had gone away alone. Other boats from Tiberias
landed near the place where all these people had eaten the bread. When they saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples

When evening came, the disciples went down to the shore. After a while, they got into a boat to make for Capernaum on the other side
of the sea, for it was now dark and Jesus had not yet come to them. But the sea was getting rough because a strong wind was blowing.

After this, Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, near Tiberias, and large crowds followed him, because of the miraculous signs they saw,
when he healed the sick. So he went up into the hills and sat down there with his disciples. Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.
Then lifting up his eyes, Jesus saw the crowds that were coming to him, and said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread so that these people may eat?”

Yes, God so loved the world that he gave his only Son that whoever believes in him may not be lost, but may have eternal life. God did not send the Son
into the world to condemn the world; instead, through him the world is to be saved. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned. He who does not

Don’t be surprised when I say, ‘You must be born again from above.’ The wind blows where it pleases and you hear its sound,
but you don’t know where it comes from or where it is going. It is like that with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Nicodemus asked again,

On the evening of that day, the first day after the Sabbath, the doors were locked where the disciples were, because of their fear of the Jews.
But Jesus came, and stood among them, and said to them, “Peace be with you!” Then he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples,
seeing the Lord, were full of joy. Again Jesus said to them, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” After saying this, he

Then the two told what had happened on the road to Emmaus, and how Jesus had made himself known, when he broke bread with them.
While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood in their midst. (He said to them, “Peace to you.”) In their panic and fright they
thought they were seeing a ghost, but he said to them, “Why are you upset, and how does such an idea cross your minds? Look at my hands

That same day, two followers of Jesus were going to Emmaus, a village seven miles from Jerusalem, and they talked about what had happened.
While they were talking and arguing about what had happened, Jesus came up and walked with them, but their eyes were not able to recognize
him. He asked, “What is it you are talking about?” The two stood still, looking sad. Then the one named Cleophas answered, “Why, it seems you
