Context of John 14:11
9Jesus says to him, Am I so long a time with you, and thou hast not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father; and how sayest thou, Shew us the Father? 10Believest thou not that I [am] in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words which I speak to you I do not speak from myself; but the Father who abides in me, he does the works. Believe me that I [am] in the Father and the Father in me; but if not, believe me for the works' sake themselves. 12Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believes on me, the works which I do shall he do also, and he shall do greater than these, because I go to the Father. 13And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, this will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
