Letter 183
To Atticus the Lector [anagnostes, a reader in minor orders].
"He who has seen me has seen the Father" [John 14:9]: that is, the one who has been deemed worthy to perceive my divinity has plainly recognized the divinity of the Father; for the divinity is one, and so is the glory of the Father and of the Son. "For I and the Father are one" [John 10:30; literally, "we are one"].

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