Jesus says that the Father is greater than he is, proving that he is not God.

The passage in question, John 14:28, states that the Father is greater than Jesus. However, this does not suggest that Jesus is inferior in nature. The term 'greater' (Greek: meizon) can refer to position or authority rather than essence. For instance, in Matthew 11:11, John the Baptist is described as greater than those born of women, yet this does not imply that he is of a different nature. Similarly, in John 13:16, the statement that a slave is not greater than his master indicates a difference in role rather than essence. Furthermore, in John 14:12, Jesus indicates that his disciples will do greater works, which refers to the quantity of their works, not their quality. Therefore, when Jesus says the Father is greater, it is in the context of relational authority within the Trinity. Additionally, throughout John 14, Jesus claims to possess divine attributes, such as the ability to answer prayers, which reinforces his divine nature and equality with the Father.
