50 I am not seeking glory for myself; but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge.
50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
50 Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it, and he is the judge.
50 I am not trying to get anything for myself. God intends something gloriously grand here and is making the decisions that will bring it about.
50 And I do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks and judges.
50 And though I have no wish to glorify myself, God is going to glorify me. He is the true judge.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on John 8:50
Commentary on John 8:48-53
(Read John 8:48-53)
Observe Christ's disregard of the applause of men. those who are dead to the praises of men can bear their contempt. God will seek the honour of all who do not seek their own. In these verses we have the doctrine of the everlasting happiness of believers. We have the character of a 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, yet they shall shortly be where it will be no more forever, Exodus 14:13.
