Father and Son

Ὁ ἑωρακὼς ἐμὲ, ἑώρακε τὸν Πατέρα· τουτέστιν, ὁ καταξιωθεὶς νοῆσαι τὴν θεότητά μου, δὴλον ὅτι ἐπέγνω τοῦ Πατρὸς τὴν θεότητα· μία γὰρ ἡ θεότης, καὶ ἡ δόξα τοῦ Πατρὸς, καὶ τοῦ Ὑιοῦ· Ἐγὼ γὰρ καὶ ὁ Πατὴρ ἔν ἐσμεν.

Ἅγιος Νειλος, Βιβλιον Πρῶτον, Ἐπιστολὴ ΡϟΑ', Αττικῳ Αναγνωστῃ
'He who has seen me has seen the Father,' 1 That is he who is worthy to know my divinity, clearly he knows the divinity of the Father, for the Divinity is one, and one is the glory of the Father and the Son. 'For I and the Father are one.' 2

Saint Nilus of Sinai, Book 1, Letter 191, To Atticus The Lector

1 Jn 14.9
2 Jn 10.30
