At first, this seems a contradiction as if he were saying, "He who believes in me, does not believe in me!" Jesus does not bind a person to him alone, but the Son leads all his followers directly to the Father. He empties himself of special rights, nor does he expect men to trust him alone.
Kwanza maneno hayo yanaonekana yakipingana, kana kwamba akisema,”Yeye aniaminiye mimi, haniamini mimi!” Yesu hamfungi mtu kwake binafsi tu, bali Mwana huwaongoza wafuasi wake wote moja kwa moja kwa Baba. Anajimimina kuwa tupu, pasipa na haki za pekee, wala hatazamii watu wamtegemee yeye peke yake. Mwana hamnyimi Mungu imani za watu; hivyo hapunguzi lolote kwenye enzi ya Mungu, anaifunua na kuitukuza daima.
