Homilies on the Gospel of John

“Believe that I am in the Father and the Father in Me.”

“You ought not, when you hear of 'Father' and 'Son,' to seek anything else to the establishing of the relationship as to Essence, but if this is not sufficient to prove to you the Condignity and Consubstantiality, you may learn it even from the works.” Had the, “he that has seen Me, has seen My Father,” been used with respect to works, He would not afterwards have said,

“Or else believe Me for the very works' sake.” And then to show that He is not only able to do these things, but also other much greater than these, He puts them with excess. For He says not, “I can do greater things than these,” but, what was much more wonderful, “I can give to others also to do greater things than these.”
