But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I am in the Father — if the works are genuine expressions of God's power (healing the blind, raising the dead, etc.), then these works provide grounds for believing, even if personal faith in Jesus' words is withheld. The works evidence the Father-Son unity: the Father dwelling in the Son and the Son dwelling in the Father (meinō, abide or dwell) indicates an intimate, inseparable relationship. The works both demonstrate and manifest this indwelling unity.
