If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
If you really knew me, you'd know my Father too. But here's the thing, from now on, you do know him, and you've actually seen him.
Knowing Jesus means you already know God, you've been looking at him this whole time.
