The point is this, if you do not know the Father, you cannot know the son
Everyone denying the Son does not have the Father. The
one confessing the Son has the Father also. (1 Jn 2:23 BLB)
All things have been delivered to Me by My Father. And no one knows the Son, except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and to whom the Son might choose to reveal
Him. (Mt 11:27 BLB)
Therefore they were saying to Him, "Where is Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also." (Jn 8:19 BLB)
Jesus says to him, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father, if not by Me. If you had known Me, you would also have known My Father. From now you know Him, and have seen Him." (Jn 14:6-7 BLB)
