 John 14:8 - 14:10
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

"...In Me"
Interestingly enough, one of the major accusations of Trinitarians against those
who profess "one God" (and mean just that) is that they are specifically saying that
Jesus Christ is not the Father. Yes when asked directly for the difference Jesus
responded by speaking in the first Person that He was the Father. Look above in verse
9. And then the Lord Jesus went on the make the exact claim which we who believe that (very)
God was manifested in the flesh, do make. That God (the Father) was *in Him, the man, Jesus.
Then He commands us to believe this.
This then is the exact reason why we can understand that the very Person of
Almighty God was present in Christ the King. Indeed all the fulness of the Godhead
was present in the man Jesus Christ [Colossians 2:9].
