Exegesis
The conditional sequence ei de mē {εἰ δὲ μή | ei de mē} introduces a fallback basis for belief: if Jesus’ own statement is not enough, dia ta erga auta {διὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτὰ | diá ta erga auta} supplies the evidential ground by placing the works themselves at the center of the appeal.
Root and etymology
tarass-
“to stir up, disturb”
In context — John 14:11
Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me. But if not, then believe because of the works themselves.
