Matthew Poole and continuators on John 8:50

50 And I seek not my own glory, there is one that seeketh and judgeth .

Christ very often mindeth them of this, That in what he spake and did, he sought not his own Honour and Reputation, which both obviated an Objection they might make against him, and also convinced them of his truth and sincerity in what he did: (but saith he) though I seek not my own Honour, [illegible: 1 word] there is one who cometh himself in my Honour and Glory; and you must expect that he should Judge and Condemn you for all your hard speeches which you have spoken against me.
