Jesus' statement in its context isn't telling us that Jesus is the Father. The one (
hen) is Neuter, not masculine. If Jesus was saying that he is the Father the word one would be
heis which is masculine. Not to mention the literally Greek is saying, "We are One." Meaning in essence and nature, not in person. The reaction from the Jews tell us that by Jesus claiming that God was His Father was actually claiming to be equal with the Father..ie. God Himself. Jesus didn't disclaim this.
Joh 10:33 The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God."
