Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 14:10

I am in the Father - See the notes at John 10:38.The words that I speak ... - See the notes at John 7:16-17.The Father that dwelleth in me - Literally, “The Father remaining in me.” This denotes most intimate union, so that the works which Jesus did might be said to be done by the Father. It implies a more intimate union than can subsist between a mere man and God. Had Jesus been a mere man, like the prophets, he would have said, “The Father who sent or commissioned me doeth the works;” but... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 14:8-11

John 14:8-11. Philip One of the apostles, hearing these words; saith unto him With a pious ardour becoming his character; Lord, show us the Father Do but bring us to the sight and enjoyment of him; and it sufficeth us It is happiness enough for us; we desire no more, and resign every other hope in comparison of this. “It is hard to say, whether Philip as yet understood who the Father was, of whom his Master spake. If he did, we cannot suppose that he asked a sight of the divine... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 14:1-14

143. The way to the Father (John 14:1-14)The disciples by now surely knew that Jesus was soon to die. He therefore comforted them by saying he was going to his Father to prepare a permanent dwelling place for them, and one day he would return to take them to be with him for ever. He had told them often enough that if they followed him as loyal followers, they would share in his final victory (John 14:1-4).Thomas misunderstood, thinking that Jesus was speaking of a physical location and a... read more

Believest: thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I say unto you I speak not from myself: but the Father abiding in me doeth his works.This recapitulation of Jesus' teachings earlier (John 12:49,50) was for Philip's benefit. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 14:10-11

John 14:10-11. Believest thou not that I am in the Father, &c.— It is remarkable, that Philo, speaking of the Logos, has this expression—that "He is the Father's house, in which he dwells;" which is not only very similar to the passage before us, but to the Apostle's words, Colossians 2:9. In him dwelleth all the fulness of the godhead bodily, Markland would read the latter part of the 10th verse thus: I speak not of myself, but the Father that dwelleth in me speaketh: He doth the works:... read more

3. Jesus’ comforting revelation in view of His departure 14:1-24Peter’s question was only the first of several that the disciples proceeded to ask Jesus. This shows their bewilderment and discouragement. They should have been comforting Him in view of what lay ahead of Him (John 12:27; John 13:21), but instead Jesus graciously proceeded to comfort them by clarifying what lay ahead of them. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 14:10

Jesus repeated again that He and the Father were one (cf. John 5:19; John 8:28; John 10:30; John 10:38; John 12:49). The mutual abiding terminology that Jesus used expressed this unity without destroying the individual identities of the Father and the Son. Jesus did not just represent God to humankind as an ambassador would. He did everything the Father gave Him to do, and He did everything the Father did (John 5:19). Moreover ambassadors do not refer to those who send them as their father or... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:1-31

The Comforter1-31. The mansions in heaven. The mission of the Comforter. This great discourse, which is not easily susceptible of formal subdivision, deals with five main subjects: (1) the heavenly mansions; (2) Christ as the Way to the Father; (3) the mutual indwelling of the Father in the Son, and of the Son in the Father; (4) the efficacy of prayer through Christ; (5) the mission of the Comforter.Some scholars think that a displacement has occurred in the farewell discourses, and... read more
