Juan 8:50

50 Yo no busco mi propia gloria; pero hay uno que la busca, y él es el juez.

Juan 8:50 Meaning and Commentary

John 8:50

I seek not mine own glory
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.

Juan 8:50 In-Context

48 —¿No tenemos razón al decir que eres un samaritano, y que estás endemoniado? —replicaron los judíos.

49 —No estoy poseído por ningún demonio —contestó Jesús—. Tan solo honro a mi Padre; pero ustedes me deshonran a mí.

50 Yo no busco mi propia gloria; pero hay uno que la busca, y él es el juez.

51 Ciertamente les aseguro que el que cumple mi palabra, nunca morirá.

52 —¡Ahora estamos convencidos de que estás endemoniado! —exclamaron los judíos—. Abraham murió, y también los profetas, pero tú sales diciendo que si alguno guarda tu palabra, nunca morirá.
