Joh 7:18. Ὁ) Most sure characteristics. A syllogism; He who speaks of himself, seeketh his own glory, being untrue and unrighteous; but Jesus doth not seek His own glory, but truly the glory of the Father, by whom He was sent. Therefore Jesus doth not speak of Himself, but is true and worthy of belief.-τὴν δόξαν τοῦ πέμψαντος, the glory of Him, who sent) Two things are here included; that He was sent; and that He seeks the glory of Him, who sent Him. The latter is the test of the former.-οὗτος) he, and he only.-ἀληθής) true, and to be esteemed as true.-ἀδικία, unrighteousness) falsehood; comp. Joh 7:24 [Judge righteous judgment], true, righteous.
