The Jews again picked up rocks to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of these are you trying to stone me?” 33 The Jews answered him, “We are not stoning you for a good work but for blasphemy. You, a man, are making yourself God.” 34 [o]Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods”’? 35 If it calls them gods to whom the word of God came, and scripture cannot be set aside, 36 can you say that the one whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world blasphemes because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
37 If I do not perform my Father’s works, do not believe me; (I am the son of God) 38 but if I perform them, even if you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may realize [and understand] that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.” 39 [Then] they tried again to arrest him; but he escaped from their power.

the Father is in me and I am in the Father.”

This makes zero difference in relation to claiming Jesus is God, because of these few words and what they mean.
Or grounds for them thinking this.

If I accept and abide in the word of God, then I can say I am in the Father and the Father is in me (1:1...........and God was the Word).
I could also say this about Jesus, in each other (much to your horror )

Repeat -> And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

If I accept all that your about, walk in your shoes so to speak, I could say you are in me.
