"The father" is greater than "my father" because the father is potentially your father as well as my father. Our father is the vinegrower who has more than one vine or he would not be a grower of vines. The reason we as believers are called the branches is because this Gospel was written for believers who were not Christians as of yet since Christians know their father as Jesus knew his father. . . . wherefore "the father" is greater than "my father" but my father is not greater than I, (Zen Catholicism).

In this sense is the father infinite, my father eternal, and I am temporal as believer until I become one with my father and be the continuity of the father.
