This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
If I glorify myself (ean egō doxasō emauton). Third-class condition with ean and first aorist active subjunctive (or future active indicative) of doxazō.
It is my Father that glorifieth me (estin ho patēr mou ho doxazōn me). The position and accent of estin mean: “Actually my Father is the one,” etc.
Of whom ye say (hon humeis legete). The accusative of the person (hon) with legete is regular (cf. Joh 10:36).
Your God (theos humōn). So Aleph B D and apparently correct, though A C L W Delta Theta have hēmōn (our God). The hoti can be taken as recitative (direct quotation, hēmōn, our) or declarative (indirect, that, and so humōn). The Jews claimed God as their peculiar national God as they had said in Joh 8:41. So Jesus turns this confession and claim against them.
