John 10:37

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

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 If he called them gods to whom the word of God was spoken; and the scripture cannot be broken:

36 Do you say of him whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into the world: Thou blasphemest; because I said: I am the Son of God?

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

38 But if I do, though you will not believe me, believe the works: that you may know and believe that the Father is in me and I in the Father.

39 They sought therefore to take him: and he escaped out of their hands.
