Contextual Overview

4 And where I go, you know the way. 5 Thomas says to him, Lord, we don't know where you are going; how can we know the way? 6 Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father, but by me. 7 If you have known me, you will also know my Father: and from now on you know him, and have seen him. 8 Philip says to him, Lord, show us the Father, and it suffices us. 9 Jesus says to him, Have I been so long time with you, and do you not know me, Philip? he that has seen me has seen the Father; how do you say, Show us the Father? 10 Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I say to you I don't speak from myself: but the Father abiding in me does his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: otherwise believe for the very works' sake.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Believest thou not that I am in the Father?.... This surely is, as it must needs be, and ought to be, an article of your faith, "that I am in the Father",

and the Father in me; phrases which are expressive of the sameness of nature in the Father and the Son; of the Son's perfect equality with the Father, since the Son is as much in the Father, as the Father is in the Son; and also of the personal distinction there is between them; for nothing with propriety can be said to be in itself. The Father must be distinct from the Son who is in him, and the Son must be distinct from the Father, in whom he is; the Father and Son, though of one and the same nature, cannot be one, and the same person:

the words that I speak unto you, I speak not of myself. The doctrines which I preach among you are a proof of what I assert, and to them I appeal; for these are not of myself, as man,

but the Father that dwelleth in me; and so prove that I am truly God, of the same nature with my Father; that he is in me, and I in him; since they are such as none but the only begotten, who is in the bosom of the Father, could ever have declared and made known unto you; Likewise, the works which I do, as man, I do not of myself; but

he doth the works: for so this passage must be understood and supplied, in which Christ proceeds to another argument, taken from his works, proving the Father to be in him, and that he is in the Father, which, is enlarged on in John 14:11.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

I am in the Father - See the notes at John 10:38.

The words that I speak ... - See the notes at John 7:16-17.

The Father that dwelleth in me - Literally, “The Father remaining in me.” This denotes most intimate union, so that the works which Jesus did might be said to be done by the Father. It implies a more intimate union than can subsist between a mere man and God. Had Jesus been a mere man, like the prophets, he would have said, “The Father who sent or commissioned me doeth the works;” but here there is reference, doubtless, to that mysterious and special union which subsists between the Father and the Son.

He doeth the works - The miracles which had been performed by Jesus. The Father could be said to do them on account of the intimate union between him and the Son. See John 5:17, John 5:19, John 5:36; John 10:30.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse John 14:10. I am in the Father, and the Father in me? — We are essentially one; and those who have seen me have seen him who sent me.

He doeth the works. — We are not only one in nature, but one also in operation. The works which I have done bear witness of the infinite perfection of my nature. Such miracles as I have wrought could only be performed by unlimited power.
