Commentary on John 14:10 (Summary)

Jean 14:10 (NEG79)

10 Ne crois-tu pas que je suis dans le Père, et que le Père est en moi? Les paroles que je vous dis, je ne les dis pas de moi-même; et le Père qui demeure en moi, c'est lui qui fait les œuvres.

Jesus emphatically states that there is an unbreakable unity between him and the Father. Two points of recognition demonstrate this. First, Jesus does not speak in a personal capacity but he is the mouthpiece of the Father. And second, Jesus emphasizes that everything he does is the work of the Father. In other words: in him, the Invisible Father manifests himself so clearly. Jesus reminds his disciples—and us!—of what he said earlier: I and the Father are one (John 10:30). And a few hours later, in his prayer to the Father—and they may hear and we may read this—he says: I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, so that they may be one, even as we are one (John 17:11; see also John 11:21).
