John 8:54

Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: It is my Father that glorifieth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God.

This was spoken in lieu of a direct answer for "Whom makest thou thyself?" If they had believed his promise (John 8:51), they would have recognized at once his being greater than Abraham; but it would have been useless to repeat it. This repeated emphasis on his oneness with the Father, however, gave added weight to the promise.

It is my Father which glorifieth me ... John would return to a specific instance of God's glorifying Jesus (John 12:28); but, in another sense, God was continually glorifying Jesus through the mighty signs he was empowered of God to perform.

Of whom you say, that he is your God ... What an incredible wonder was this, that those evil persons so stoutly claiming to be God's children should have been so vindictive in their hatred of that same God's eternal and only Son!
