“I do not accept praise from people,

For they loved praise from men more than praise from God.

Now the Word became flesh and took up residence among us. We saw his glory – the glory of the one and only, full of grace and truth, who came from the Father.

How can you believe, if you accept praise from one another and don’t seek the praise that comes from the only God?

Isaiah said these things because he saw Christ’s glory, and spoke about him.

The person who speaks on his own authority desires to receive honor for himself; the one who desires the honor of the one who sent him is a man of integrity, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

I am not trying to get praise for myself. There is one who demands it, and he also judges.

Jesus responded, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believe, you would see the glory of God?”

The glory you gave to me I have given to them, that they may be one just as we are one –

And now, Father, glorify me at your side with the glory I had with you before the world was created.

Jesus did this as the first of his miraculous signs, in Cana of Galilee. In this way he revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.

Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself, my glory is worthless. The one who glorifies me is my Father, about whom you people say, ‘He is our God.’

Then they summoned the man who used to be blind a second time and said to him, “Promise before God to tell the truth. We know that this man is a sinner.”

When Jesus heard this, he said, “This sickness will not lead to death, but to God’s glory, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”

“Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, so that they can see my glory that you gave me because you loved me before the creation of the world.
