John 8:50

John 8:50

Before Abraham Was, I AM

48 Then the Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and ^ahave a demon?”

49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and ^ayou dishonor Me.

50 And ^aI do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks and judges.

51 Most assuredly, I say to you, ^aif anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.”

52 Then the Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You ^ahave a demon! ^bAbraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.’

53 Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. ^aWho do You make Yourself out to be?”

But I seek not mine own glory (egw de ou zhtw thn docan mou). As they did not seek the glory of God (John 5:44; John 8:4).

And judgeth (kai krinwn). The Father judges between you and me, though the Son is the Judge of mankind (John 5:22). "It is only the doca (glory) that comes from God that is worth having" (Bernard).
