John 14:11 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake: -

q.d., 'By all your faith in Me, Believe this on My simple word: but if so high a claim is more than your feeble faith can yet reach, let the works I have done tell their own tale, and it will need no more.' Can anything more clearly show that Christ claimed for His miracles a higher character than those of prophets or apostles? And yet this higher character lay not in the works themselves, but in His manner of doing them. (See the notes at Mark 6:30-56, Remark 1 at the close of that section, page 163.)
