John 8:50 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

And (or, 'But') I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. There should be a supplement here: 'There is one that seeketh [it]; that is, 'that seeketh My glory and judgeth'-Who requireth "all men to honour the Son even as they honour the Father;" Who will judicially treat him "who honoureth not the Son as honouring not the Father that hath sent Him" (John 5:23, and compare Matthew 17:5); but Who will yet give to Him (see John 6:37) those who will one day cast their crowns before His throne, in whom He "shall see of the travail of His soul, and be satisfied" (Isaiah 53:11).
