I Do Not Except Glory From Men! Glorify My Father

[Bible Speaks]

I Do Not Except Glory From Men

19 "Therefore, in response Jesus said to them: “Most truly I say to you, the Son cannot do a single thing of his own initiative, but only what he sees the Father doing.
For whatever things that One does, these things the Son does also in like manner. 
20 "For the Father has affection for the Son and shows him all the things he himself does, and he will show him works greater than these, so that you may marvel."
21 "For just as the Father raises the dead up and makes them alive, so the Son also makes alive whomever he wants to."
 22 For the Father judges no one at all, but he has entrusted all the judging to the Son,"
23 "so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him."
24 "Most truly I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes the One who sent me has everlasting life, and he does not come into judgment but has passed over from death to life."
25 “Most truly I say to you, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who have paid attention will live. 
26 "For just as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted also to the Son to have life in himself."
27 "And he has given him authority to do judging, because he is the Son of man."
28 "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice."
29 "and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment."
30 "I cannot do a single thing of my own initiative. Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous because I seek, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
31 “If I alone bear witness about myself, my witness is not true.
32 "There is another who bears witness about me, and I know that the witness he bears about me is true.
 33 "You have sent men to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.
34 "However, I do not accept the witness from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. 
35 "That man was a burning and shining lamp, and for a short time you were willing to rejoice greatly in his light.
36 "But I have the witness greater than that of John, for the very works that my Father assigned me to accomplish, these works that I am doing, bear witness that the Father sent me."
37 "And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me.
You have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his form,
38 "and you do not have his word residing in you, because you do not believe the very one whom he sent.
39 “You are searching the Scriptures because you think that you will have everlasting life by means of them; and these are the very ones that bear witness about me.
 40 And yet you do not want to come to me so that you may have life. 
41 I do not accept glory from men, 42 but I well know that you do not have the love of God in you.
 43 I have come in the name of my Father, but you do not receive me. If someone else came in his own name, you would receive that one. 
44 How can you believe, when you are accepting glory from one another and you are not seeking the glory that is from the only God?" (John 5:19-44).
