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: for the doctrine and the miracles, says this learned critic, are two different articles. The words rendered or else, ει δε μη, in John 14:11 would be more properly rendered but if not. Dr. Heylin upon this verse beautifully observes, that the whole Trinity acts in each individual Christian in such measure as he is susceptible of its operations. Thus Christ in the Father, and the Father in him, are the internal ground of faith; the works of Christ are external; both are valued, but the former preferable.
