Contextual Overview

⁴⁴ In a loud voice Jesus said: Everyone who has faith in me also has faith in the one who sent me. ⁴⁵ And everyone who has seen me has seen the one who sent me. ⁴⁶ I am the light that has come into the world. No one who has faith in me will stay in the dark. ⁴⁷ I am not the one who will judge those who refuse to obey my teachings. I came to save the people of this world, not to be their judge. ⁴⁸ But everyone who rejects me and my teachings will be judged on the last day by what I have said. ⁴⁹ I don't speak on my own. I say only what the Father who sent me has told me to say. ⁵⁰ I know that his commands will bring eternal life. That is why I tell you exactly what the Father has told me.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me. Not with bodily eyes, for there were many that saw Christ, who never saw the Father: they saw Christ as a mere man, and were offended at the meanness of his outward appearance; they saw nothing divine in him, nor the glory of the Father through him; but with the eyes of the understanding, whoever saw or perceived the glory of Christ in his miracles, saw the glory of God in them also, for the Father that dwelt in him did the works, John 2:11, and whoever truly sees Christ with an eye of faith, sees his glory, as the glory of the only begotten of the Father, as the brightness of his Father's glory, as having the fulness of the Godhead dwelling in him, the same perfections as in the Father; so that he that hath seen the one, hath seen the other also, John 14:9.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Seeth me ... - This verse is a strong confirmation of his equality with God. In no other way can it be true that he who saw Jesus saw him that sent him, unless he were the same in essence. Of no man could it be affirmed that he who saw him saw God. To say this of Paul or Isaiah would have been blasphemy. And yet Jesus uses this language familiarly and constantly. It shows that he had a consciousness that he was divine, and that it was the natural and proper way of speaking when speaking of himself. Compare John 5:17.
