King James Bible
"Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works."
Jesus challenges Philip's faith regarding the mutual indwelling between himself and the Father. This rhetorical question emphasizes the complete unity of the Son and Father—not merely proximity but a mysterious interpenetration that defines Jesus's divine identity. Jesus clarifies that his teaching originates not from independent human wisdom but from the Father. This claim reinforces his role as the perfect revealer of God, speaking only what the Father gives him to say. The miracles and mighty acts Jesus performs are actually the Father's works accomplished through him. This statement completes the picture of total unity—the Father is the source of both Jesus's words and deeds, demonstrating their inseparable relationship through visible action.
