Tractates on the Gospel of John

³ And then after such an insult, this was all that He said of His own glory: “But I honor,” said He, “my Father, and you dishonor me.” That is, I honor not myself, that you may not think me arrogant.

4. “And I,” said He, “seek not my own glory: there is one that seeks and judges.” Whom does He wish to be understood but the Father? How, then, does He say in another place, “The Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment unto the Son,” while here He says, “I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeks and judges”? If, then, the Father judges, how is it that He judges no man, but has committed all judgment unto the Son?
