Trinitarians typically believe that the persons of the Trinity are coequal. How do they explain Jesus' statement that his Father was greater?
> Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you.
> If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the
> Father: for my Father is greater than I. (John 14:28, KJV)
A similar question was once asked here, but was closed for addressing too broad of an audience.
