This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

50. ἐγὼ δὲ οὐ ζ. But it is not I who seek. ‘It is not because I seek glory for Myself that I speak of your dishonouring Me: the Father seeks that for Me and pronounces judgment on you.’ Comp. Joh 8:54 and Joh 5:41. There is no contradiction between this and Joh 5:22. In both cases God’s law operates of itself: the wicked sentence themselves, rather than are sentenced by Him or by the Son.
