Mike walks through the narrative context of John 14, noting the Last Supper setting and Philip's request.

Philip says "show us the Father and it is enough for us" — a request for revelation of God. Jesus responds "whoever has seen me has seen the Father," which is a claim of revelation/representation, NOT identity. Mike distinguishes: "Jesus does not say I am the Father, he says if you've seen me you've seen the Father — a big difference."
