Joh 14:10. Ὅτι) that.-ἐν τῷ Πατρὶ-ἐν ἐμοί, in the Father-in Me) This intimates the highest degree of unity: ch. Joh 17:21, “Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee.”-ἔστι, is) This word contains the emphasis: for the consequent of this His Being [Esse] is His speaking and doing [loqui, facere: λαλῶ-ποιεῖ], and this His Being [Esse, ἔστι] is known by His words and deeds. Presently after comes the synonymous expression, that dwelleth in Me [μένων]. Hence from Their unity in operation, Their prior unity of essence shines forth the more apparent.-ῥήματα, the words) and, the works.-αὐτός) Himself.-ποιεῖ τὰ ἔργα, doeth the works) and speaketh the words. [What, in respect of those who were not on rather intimate terms with the Lord Jesus, are called signs and miracles, these, in conversation with His disciples, He simply calls works. No doubt to Christ Himself works of that sort were, as it were, ordinary and common.-V. g.]
