John 10:37

37 "Don't believe me unless I do what my Father does.

John 10:37 Meaning and Commentary

John 10:37

If I do not the works of my Father
Not only what the Father had given him to finish, and which he wrought by him as man, but such as were as great as the Father had done, and were equal to them; and which could not be done by any, but by the Father, or by one that is equal with him:

believe me not:
Christ appeals to his miracles as proofs of his deity, sonship, and Messiahship, and desires no other credit than what they demand; see ( Matthew 11:3-5 ) ( John 5:36 ) .

John 10:37 In-Context

35 We know that Scripture is always true. God spoke to some people and called them 'gods.'
36 If that is true, what about the One the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why do you charge me with saying a very evil thing? Is it because I said, 'I am God's Son'?
37 "Don't believe me unless I do what my Father does.
38 But what if I do it? Even if you don't believe me, believe the miracles. Then you will know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father."
39 Again they tried to arrest him. But he escaped from them.
