This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
11. πιστεύετέ μοι. In English we lose the point that Jesus now turns from S. Philip and addresses all the Eleven. ‘Ye have been with Me long enough to believe what I say; but if not, at any rate believe what I do. My words need no credentials: but if credentials are demanded, there are My works.’ He had said the same, somewhat more severely, to the Jews (Joh 10:37-38, where see note); and He repeats it much more severely in reference to the Jews (Joh 15:22; Joh 15:24). Note the progress from πιστεύετέ μοι here to ὁ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμέ in Joh 14:12; the one grows out of the other.
