SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:50
Y no busco mi gloria; hay quien la busca, y juzga.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 8:50
Verse 50. I seek not mine own glory] Another proof that I am not influenced by any spirit but that which proceeds from God. But there is one that seeketh-i.e. my glory-and judgeth- will punish you for your determined obstinacy and iniquity.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 50. I seek not mine own glory , etc.] In his doctrine, or in his miracles; which showed that he was no impostor, but a true, faithful, and upright person; and though he was so very much reproached and abused, he was not over solicitous of his own character, and of retrieving his honour, and of securing glory from man; he knew that Wisdom was justified of her children, and he committed himself to God that judgeth righteously, who would take care of his glory, and vindicate him from all the unjust charges and insults of men: there is one that seeketh and judgeth ; meaning God his Father, who had his glory at heart; who had glorified him on the mount, and would glorify him again, when he should raise him from the dead, and spread his Gospel in all the world; and when he would judge the nation of the Jews, and bring wrath upon them, upon their nation, city and temple, for their contempt and rejection of him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 48-53 - Observe Christ's disregard of the applause of men. those who are dea to the praises of men can bear their contempt. God will seek the honou of all who do not seek their own. In these verses we have the doctrin of the everlasting happiness of believers. We have the character of believer; he is one that keeps the sayings of the Lord Jesus. And the privilege of a believer; he shall by no means see death for ever Though now they cannot avoid seeing death, and tasting it also, ye they shall shortly be where it will be no more forever, Ex 14:13.
