If ye had known me

                                       

Jesus told His disciples,

"If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

“Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us [we will be satisfied].

“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

“Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

“Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. [Or at least believe because of the work you have seen me do.]" - John 14:7-11 KJV 

Jesus was all man, and all God.

"For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." - Colossians 2:9 KJV

As man, Jesus was tired, hungry, thirsty, tempted (but remained without sin), prayed, and died.

As God, Jesus healed the sick, raised the dead, fed the multitudes, calmed the sea, opened blind eyes and deaf ears, knew all things, walked on water, created the universe, forgave sins, answered prayers, and raised His body from the dead.

"In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: who is the image of the invisible God…" - Colossians 1:14-15 KJV

"To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself..." - 2 Corinthians 5:19 KJV
