What does John 12:44-45 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

The fact that Jesus cried these words out shows their importance. Jesus again claimed to be God"s agent and so closely connected with God that to believe on Jesus constituted believing on God. There is both a distinction between the Son and the Father in their subsistence and a unity between them in their essence (cf. ch5).
