John 5:41

Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ. been...: or, used authority

But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.

He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: for us: some read, for you

When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.

For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
