Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
You know the way better than you think. Christ is willing to make the best of your weak knowledge, seeing good in you that you cannot yet see in yourselves. Thomas shows modesty in his ignorance, and Christ's word stirs him to seek further light rather than settle for confusion.

Commenting on John 14:4-11
I offer two grounds for belief: my own testimony about my union with the Father, or else the miracles themselves. If my words do not convince you, let the healings and raisings of the dead speak for themselves.
AI summary
Believe me on my word that I am in the Father and the Father in me, for nothing is more certain; but if you will not take my word, then believe for the works themselves, the raising of the dead, the cleansing of lepers, giving sight to the blind, deeds that no mere man could perform.
