John 14:11

11 Believe me, all of you, that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me; or at any rate, believe me because of what I do.

John 14:11 Meaning and Commentary

John 14:11

Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me,
&c.] Take my word for the truth of this; you may assure yourselves that nothing is more certain; but if you will not believe upon my saying so, either believe for the sake of the doctrines I have preached unto you, which are such as never any mere man spoke, and which have been delivered in such a manner, and with such authority, as never were by man. Some copies read, by way of interrogation, and so the Ethiopic version; and the Vulgate Latin version reads, "believe ye not?"

or else believe me for the very work's sake:
meaning his miraculous works, such as raising the dead, cleansing the lepers, causing the deaf to hear, and giving sight to the blind; and which were such as none but a divine person could ever perform.

John 14:11 In-Context

9 "Have I been so long among you," Jesus answered, "and yet you, Philip, do not know me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How can *you* ask me, `Cause us to see the Father'?

10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me? The things that I tell you all I do not speak on my own authority: but the Father dwelling within me carries on His own work.

11 Believe me, all of you, that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me; or at any rate, believe me because of what I do.

12 In most solemn truth I tell you that he who trusts in me--the things which I do he shall do also; and greater things than these he shall do, because I am going to the Father.

13 And whatever any of you ask in my name, I will do, in order that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
