ACC ~ John 14 v5

THE DISCIPLES DO NOT KNOW THEY KNOW

AUGUSTINE: The Lord said they knew the place to which and the way whereby he was going. Thomas declares he does not know either the place or the way. But Thomas does not know he is speaking falsely. They knew, but they did not know that they knew. Jesus, however, will convince them of what they already know even though they themselves imagine that they are ignorant about it.
