This event marked a significant turning point in the early church, empowering the disciples to spread the gospel with boldness and clarity.you will know The knowledge mentioned here is not merely intellectual but experiential and spiritual.

This concept is foundational to Christian identity and is further elaborated in passages like <a href="/john/15-5.htm">John 15:5</a>, where Jesus describes Himself as the vine and believers as the branches. This union signifies a shared life, purpose, and destiny with Christ.and I am in you This phrase highlights the indwelling presence of Christ in the believer through the Holy Spirit. It is a promise of continual fellowship and empowerment, as seen in <a href="/galatians/2-20.htm">Galatians 2:20</a>, where Paul states, "Christ lives in me."

In the first reference the Day of Pentecost is meant, but the words hold good of every spiritual quickening, and will hold good of the final coming in the last day. The pronoun "ye" is emphatic--"Ye shall know for yourselves."That I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.--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>. The result of this spiritual illumination would be that they should of themselves know the immanence of the Son in the Father, and their own union with the Father through Him. They ask now (<a href="/john/14-8.htm" title="Philip said to him, Lord, show us the Father, and it suffises us.">John 14:8</a>) for a manifestation of the Father. The Spirit should so bring the life of Christ to their hearts that they would read in it the manifestation of the Father, and feel that in and through that life their own spirit has communion with God. The Spirit would witness with their spirit that they were the children of God. They would seek no longer for a Theophany from without, but in the depth of their inmost lives would cry, "Abba, Father."<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/john/14.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 20. - In that day of glorious re-communion with you, begun in the Resurrection-surprises, which will aid your faith and triumphantly establish the mysteries and marvels of Pentecost, you shall know what you now most imperfectly apprehend by faith, that I am in my Father, as One lifted up into God, and that I act entirely with and for and as my Father, fulfilling all that I have told you of my personal relationship with him; and then, he adds, you shall know that as I am in my Father, you (are) in me, living in and by my power, and continuously drawing life from me; and what is still more, I in you; i.e. as the Father has acted in and through my will, and I have spoken his words and done his works, so I will energize in you. Your "greater works" will prove my "greater power." Your own consciousness of my presence, and of continuous communion with me, will reveal to you, as you never knew before, that I am in my Father, and also that I am in you. So the apparent paradox presents itself, that in order to know the Father, to see the Father, we must commune with the humanity of Jesus; but in order to realize and come into contact with that humanity, we have to grasp that it is lifted up into God. Because he is in the Father he is able to be with and in us. <a href="/commentaries/john/14-20.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>On ἐν (en) Preposition <a href="/greek/strongs_1722.htm">Strong's 1722: </a> In, on, among.
