Joh 5:34. Παρὰ ἀνθρώπου, from man) even though it be John. [The matter is not to be referred to man, as the ultimate arbiter. Whatever I am, I am so, independently of the favour of human authority.-V. g.]-τὴν μαρτυρίαν, testimony) doing Me honour (comp. Joh 5:41, “I receive not honour from men”), in regard to you.-ταῦτα, these things) concerning John.-ἵνα, that) His earnest will regarding the salvation of men is hereby expressed.-ὑμεῖς, ye) who made so much of John. In antithesis to, I; it is your own interest which is at stake.
