John 14:10-11
What is written? (ESV)
Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.
What does it say?
Jesus asked the disciples if they doubted He was in the Father and the Father was in Him. They shouldn’t since His words and works were by the authority of the Father who dwelt in Him. They should believe that He and the Father were in each other because of the works He did.
What is its immediate context?
Jesus and the apostles in the upper room on the eve of His trial. John’s account of this begins in chapter 13 and concludes with Jesus’ prayer in chapter 17. Jesus has just said that He is going to prepare a place for them (vss 2-3) and Thomas has asked, “How can we know the way?” (vs 5).
