40and ye will not come to me that ye might have life. 41I do not receive glory from men, but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. 43I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not; if another come in his own name, him ye will receive. 44How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and seek not the glory which [comes] from God alone?

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 42But I know you, that ye have not, etc. - Don't say that you oppose me through zeal for God's honor, and love for his name, because I make myself equal to him: no, this is not the case.
