Exegesis
The final question πῶς σὺ λέγεις {πῶς σὺ λέγεις | pôs sy lé-geis} is rhetorical, not informational, and the imperative Δεῖξον {Δεῖξον | Deî-xon} gives the request a sharp, urgent edge. The sequence of perfect forms, direct address, and rhetorical question creates a rebuke that ties recognition of the Father to recognition of the Son.
In context — John 14:9
Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you all this long, and you have not come to know Me, Philip? The one who has seen Me has seen the Father . How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?"
