‏ John 14:9

14:9 ^a Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! Cp. 1:1-2 ^b. Jesus Christ is God-in-the-flesh (1:14 ^c), which explains his capacity to accomplish divine works. Jesus did not simply teach about God; in him God can be found. Jesus’ remarkable statement echoed what he had said at Hanukkah: “The Father and I are one” (10:30 ^d). This claim is at the root of the world’s opposition to Christ (5:18 ^e).
