This phrase emphasizes the intimate and unique relationship between Jesus and the Father, highlighting the concept of the Trinity. The unity between Jesus and the Father is a central theme in the Gospel of John, underscoring Jesus' divine nature. This relationship is also reflected in <a href="/john/10-30.htm">John 10:30</a>, where Jesus states, "I and the Father are one." The mutual indwelling signifies a profound spiritual connection, which was a radical concept for the Jewish audience, who were monotheistic and did not conceive of God in such relational terms. This statement challenges the disciples to deepen their faith and understanding of Jesus' divine identity.The words I say to you, I do not speak on My own. Here, Jesus asserts that His teachings and messages are not self-derived but are directly from the Father. This reflects the prophetic tradition in which prophets spoke the words of God, as seen in the Old Testament. Jesus, however, surpasses the prophets by being the Word made flesh (<a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a>). His teachings carry divine authority, and this claim reinforces His role as the ultimate revelation of God. The statement also emphasizes Jesus' obedience and submission to the Father's will, a theme that is evident throughout His ministry, particularly in His prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane (<a href="/matthew/26-39.htm">Matthew 26:39</a>).Instead, it is the Father dwelling in Me, performing His works. This phrase highlights the indwelling presence of the Father in Jesus, which is the source of His miraculous works. The concept of God dwelling among His people is rooted in the Old Testament, such as God's presence in the Tabernacle and the Temple. In Jesus, the fullness of God dwells bodily (<a href="/colossians/2-9.htm">Colossians 2:9</a>), making Him the new Temple. The works performed by Jesus, including miracles and acts of compassion, are manifestations of the Father's power and purpose. This underscores the divine mission of Jesus and authenticates His claims, as seen in <a href="/john/5-36.htm">John 5:36</a>, where Jesus refers to His works as testimony to His divine commission.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a> The central figure in this passage, Jesus is speaking to His disciples, emphasizing His unity with the Father. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_father.htm">The Father (God)</a> Referred to by Jesus, highlighting the intimate relationship and unity between Him and the Father. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_disciples.htm">The Disciples</a> The immediate audience of Jesus' teaching, representing all believers who seek to understand the nature of Jesus' relationship with the Father. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_upper_room.htm">The Upper Room</a> The setting of this discourse, where Jesus is preparing His disciples for His impending departure. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_works_of_the_father.htm">The Works of the Father</a> The miraculous deeds and teachings of Jesus, which are attributed to the Father working through Him.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/u/unity_with_the_father.htm">Unity with the Father</a> Jesus' statement underscores the profound unity between Him and the Father, a mystery that invites believers to trust in the divine nature of Christ. <a href="/topical/d/divine_authority.htm">Divine Authority</a> Jesus speaks with the authority of the Father, reminding us that His teachings are not merely human wisdom but divine revelation. <a href="/topical/t/the_indwelling_presence.htm">The Indwelling Presence</a> Just as the Father dwells in Jesus, believers are called to allow Christ to dwell in them, transforming their lives and actions. <a href="/topical/f/faith_in_action.htm">Faith in Action</a> Understanding Jesus' unity with the Father should inspire believers to live out their faith, knowing that God works through them as He did through Christ. <a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_works.htm">The Role of Works</a> The works of Jesus are a testament to His divine mission, encouraging believers to let their good works reflect the glory of God.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_john_14.htm">Top 10 Lessons from John 14</a> <a href="/q/what_is_the_concept_of_co-inherence.htm">What is the concept of co-inherence?</a> <a href="/q/what_does_'great_nation'_mean.htm">Can the Son do anything by Himself?</a> <a href="/q/what_is_the_meaning_of_perichoresis.htm">What is the meaning of Perichoresis?</a> <a href="/q/what_does_the_bible_say_about_the_trinity.htm">What is the Bible's teaching on the Trinity?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/john/14.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(10) Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?--Comp. Note on <a href="/john/10-38.htm" title="But if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works: that you may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.">John 10:38</a>. He had there taught this truth to the Jews; but Philip's words seem to show that even the disciples did not fully receive it. The order of the clauses is reversed here, in accordance with the thought of the context, which is of knowledge of the Son, and of the Father through the Son.The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself.--This refers not to His present teaching only or chiefly, but to the whole of His manifestation of the character and attributes of God. All His words had been a revelation of the Father whom Philip now asks to see. (Comp. <a href="/john/8-38.htm" title="I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do that which you have seen with your father.">John 8:38</a>.)But the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.--The better reading is, but the Father that dwelleth in Me doeth His own works. This is the proof that He does not speak of Himself; and both clauses are together the proof of the indwelling of the Son in the Father and the Father in the Son. The works manifested in time in the power of the Incarnate Word are not His works, but those of the Father, who abides in the Son, and is revealed through Him. (Comp. <a href="/john/8-28.htm" title="Then said Jesus to them, When you have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things.">John 8:28</a>, and Note there.)<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/john/14.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 10. - Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? Philip had heard in an inverted order these very words (see <a href="/john/10-38.htm">John 10:38</a>). He might have grasped their meaning; two aspects of the same Divine truth or reality - the reciprocal fellowship between the Father and the Son, between the Father and the Effulgence of the Father's glory who is now the God-Man. I am in the Father, I the God-Man am in the Father, as the Logos has ever been in him and proceeding from him. I, who was forever in the bosom of the Father in heaven though on earth, am in the Father now, as the sun dwells in its own effluent light; and the Father is in me, seeing I am the Image of his substance, the Agent of his purpose, the Speaker of his words, the Doer of his works. The words (ῤήματα) which I speak (λέγω, R.T.) unto you - those words which are "spirit and life" (<a href="/john/6-63.htm">John 6:63</a>), those "words of eternal life," according to Peter's grand confession (<a href="/john/6-68.htm">John 6:68, 69</a>) - I do not utter (λαλῶ) from myself; i.e. they are the words of the Father, and also the proof that I am in the Father, but the Father worketh always and ever more in and through the Son, these works which may seem to be mine as the Son of man, but are the operation of the Father himself, he who abides in the Son. And the Father abiding in me, doeth his works. These works of mine (ἔργα) are all signs (σημεῖα) of my relation to the Father. They are indications to Philip of the nature, and quality, and character, and feeling towards him of the Father himself. <a href="/commentaries/john/14-10.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>Do you not believe πιστεύεις (pisteueis) Verb - Present Indicative Active - 2nd Person Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_4100.htm">Strong's 4100: </a> From pistis; to have faith, i.e. Credit; by implication, to entrust. that ὅτι (hoti) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_3754.htm">Strong's 3754: </a> Neuter of hostis as conjunction; demonstrative, that; causative, because.
