John 5:41
Compare all
39 aYou search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and bthese are they which testify of Me.  
40 aBut you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.  
41 a“I do not receive honor from men.  
42 But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you.
43 I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.
44 aHow can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek bthe honor that comes from the only God?  
45 Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; athere is one who accuses you—Moses, in whom you trust.  
46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; afor he wrote about Me.

John 5:41

Glory from men (docan para anqrwpwn). Mere honour and praise Jesus does not expect from men (verse John 5:34). This is not wounded pride, for ambition is not Christ's motive. He is unlike the Jews (John 5:44; John 12:43; Matthew 6:1 f.) and seeks not his own glory, but the glory and fellowship of the Father (John 1:14; John 2:11; John 7:18). Paul did not seek glory from men (I Thessalonians 2:6).
