Of myself [α π ε μ α υ τ ο υ]. Rev., better, from myself. See on 7 17. The Father that dwelleth in me, He doeth the works [ο δ ε π α τ η ρ ο ε ν ε μ ο ι μ ε ν ω ν, α υ τ ο ς π ο ι ε ι τ α ε ρ γ α]. The best texts read, oJ de pathr ejn ejmoi menwn poiei ta erga autou; the Father abiding in me doeth His works. Philip doubts whether Christ is in the Father, and the Father in Him.

His works are the works of the Father abiding in Him; therefore the Father is in Him.
