João 8:50

50 Não estou buscando glória para mim mesmo; mas há quem a busque e julgue.

João 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.

João 8:50 In-Context

48 Os judeus lhe responderam: “Não estamos certos em dizer que você é samaritano e está endemoninhado?”

49 Disse Jesus: “Não estou endemoninhado! Ao contrário, honro o meu Pai, e vocês me desonram.

50 Não estou buscando glória para mim mesmo; mas há quem a busque e julgue.

51 Asseguro que, se alguém obedecer à minha palavra, jamais verá a morte”.

52 Diante disso, os judeus exclamaram: “Agora sabemos que você está endemoninhado! Abraão morreu, bem como os profetas, mas você diz que, se alguém obedecer à sua palavra, nunca experimentará a morte.
