Contextual Overview

44 Jesus cried out and said, He who believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me. 45 And he who sees me, has already seen him who sent me. 46 I have come into the world as the light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness. 47 And he who hears my words, and does not obey them, I will not judge him; for I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 He who oppresses me and does not receive my words, there is one who will judge him; the word which I have spoken, it will judge him at the last day. 49 For I did not speak of myself; but the Father who sent me, he commanded me what to say and what to speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting; these things therefore which I speak, just as my Father told me, so I speak.

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.
