Juan 8:54

54 Jesús respondió: Si yo mismo me glorifico, mi gloria no es nada; es mi Padre el que me glorifica, de quien vosotros decís: "El es nuestro Dios."

Juan 8:54 Meaning and Commentary

John 8:54

Jesus answered, if I honour myself, my honour is nothing,
&c.] It is empty and vain, and will not continue; see ( 2 Corinthians 10:18 ) ;

it is my Father that honoureth me:
by a voice from heaven, both at his baptism, and transfiguration, declaring him to be his beloved Son, and by the works and miracles he did by him; as he afterwards also honoured him by raising him from the dead, and setting him at his own right hand, by pouring forth his Spirit on his disciples, and succeeding his Gospel in every place:

of whom ye say that he is your God;
your covenant God and Father, being the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; of this the Jews boasted. The Alexandrian copy, and some others, and all the Oriental versions read, "our God".

Juan 8:54 In-Context

52 Los judíos le dijeron: Ahora sí sabemos que tienes un demonio. Abraham murió, y también los profetas, y tú dices: "Si alguno guarda mi palabra no probará jamás la muerte."
53 ¿Eres tú acaso mayor que nuestro padre Abraham que murió? Los profetas también murieron; ¿quién crees que eres?
54 Jesús respondió: Si yo mismo me glorifico, mi gloria no es nada; es mi Padre el que me glorifica, de quien vosotros decís: "El es nuestro Dios."
55 Y vosotros no le habéis conocido, pero yo le conozco; y si digo que no le conozco seré un mentiroso como vosotros; pero sí le conozco y guardo su palabra.
56 Vuestro padre Abraham se regocijó esperando ver mi día; y lo vio y se alegró.
