Exegesis
Kakeinos poiesei {κἀκεῖνος ποιήσει | kakeînos poiḗsei} ‘and that one will do’ picks up the believing person as the future subject, while meizona touton {μείζονα τούτων | meízona toútōn} ‘greater than these’ sets up a comparison of degree, indicating broader reach rather than a different kind of action.
In context — John 14:12
Amen, amen, I say to you, the one who believes in Me will also do the works that I do, and he will do greater works than these, because I am going toward the Father .
