I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE
JOHN 10.30 I AM IN THE FATHER AND
THE FATHER IS IN ME
JOHN 10.38
QUOTATION REPORTED OUT OF TEXT:
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up the stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your laws, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God was come, and the scriptures cannot be broken; Say ye of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said I am the Son of God? If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though you believe me not, believe the works; that you may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. JOHN 10.29/38
IDENTITY OF PURPOSE NOT PERSON:
Neither pray I for thee alone, but for them also which shall believe in me through their word. That they may he one as thou Father art in me, and I in thee, that they may also be one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them, that they may be one even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one. JOHN 17.20/23

And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him, and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. I CORINTHIANS 8.5/6
