Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.10Don't you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words I speak to you I do not speak on My own. The Father who lives in Me does His works.
11Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.11Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me. Otherwise, believe because of the works themselves.
12Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.12"I assure you: The one who believes in Me will also do the works that I do. And he will do even greater works than these, because I am going to the Father.

The world is unable to receive Him because it doesn't see Him or know Him. But you do know Him, because He remains with you and will be in you.
18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.18I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you.
19Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live.19"In a little while the world will see Me no longer, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live too.

24Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.24The one who doesn't love Me will not keep My words. The word that you hear is not Mine but is from the Father who sent Me.
