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 ) .

36 can you say that the one whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world is blaspheming because I said, "I am God's Son'?

37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me.

38 But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father."

39 Then they tried to arrest him again, but he escaped from their hands.
