John 14:28 “You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
This verse is part of Jesus’ Farewell Discourse to his disciples (John 14-17), where he prepares them for his impending departure through his crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. He reassures them that he will return and emphasizes the importance of his departure.
These are the verses to remember - Verses - Quran 22:6-7 - John 14:6 | John 14:13-14. John 14:23, John 14:28, and John 10:27-33.
Quran 22:6-7 6. That is because Allâh, He is the Truth, and it is He Who gives life to the dead, and it is He Who is Able to do all things. 7. And surely, the Hour is coming, there is no doubt about it, and certainly, Allâh will resurrect those who are in the graves.
John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 14:13-14 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
John 14:23 Jesus answered him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
John 10:27-33 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all[a]; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.” 31 Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him, 32 but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?” 33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”
John 14:28 has been crucial in Christological discussions. In traditional Christian belief, it upholds the doctrine of the Trinity, affirming that while Jesus is fully divine, his incarnation involved taking on a human nature and submitting to the Father’s will. The greater status of the Father pertains to Jesus’ voluntary humility and role within the plan of salvation. It also conveys Jesus’ reassurance to his disciples about his departure and return, urging them to find joy in his reunion with the Father. It underscores the relational dynamic within the Trinity during Jesus' earthly mission, emphasizing his obedience and the fulfillment of God’s salvific plan.

NB: Even the islamic world is confused about Death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Sheikh Imran Nazar Hosein a renowned Islamic scholar from Trinidad and Tobago talks about the truth of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection.
