John 5:44
Compare all
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.  
47 But if you ado not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”

John 5:44

While ye receive honour - That is, while ye seek the praise of men rather than the praise of God. At the feast of pentecost, kept in commemoration of the giving the law from Mount Sinai, their sermons used to be full of the praises of the law, and of the people to whom it was given. How mortifying then must the following words of our Lord be to them, while they were thus exulting in Moses and his law!
