they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God--"a severe remark, considering that several at least of these persons afterwards boldly confessed Christ. It indicates the displeasure with which God regarded their conduct at this time, and with which He continues to regard similar conduct" [WEBSTER and WILKINSON].
افتح المصدر ↗It was a melancholy account which we had in the close of the foregoing chapter of the dishonour done to our Lord Jesus, when the scribes and Pharisees proclaimed him a traitor to their church, and put upon him all the marks of ignominy they could: but the story of this chapter balances that, by giving us an account of the honour done to the Redeemer, notwithstanding all that reproach thrown upon him. Thus the one was set over against the other. Let us see what honours were heaped on the head of the Lord Jesus, even in the depths of his humiliation. I. Mary did him honour, by anointing his feet at the supper in Bethany (Joh 12:1-11). II. The common people did him honour, with their acclamations of joy, when he rode in triumph into Jerusalem (Joh 12:12-19). III. The Greeks did him honour, by enquiring after him with a longing desire to see him (Joh 12:20-26). IV. God the Father did him honour, by a voice from heaven, bearing testimony to him (Joh 12:27-36). V. He had honour done him by the Old Testament prophets, who foretold the infidelity of those that heard the report of him (Joh 12:37-41). VI. He had honour done him by some of the chief rulers, whose consciences witnessed for him, though they had not courage to own it (Joh 12:42, Joh 12:43. VII. He claimed honour to himself, by asserting his divine mission, and the account he gave of his errand into the world (Joh 12:44-50).

كَيْفَ تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تُؤْمِنُوا وَأَنْتُمْ تَقْبَلُونَ مَجْدًا بَعْضُكُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ، وَالْمَجْدُ الَّذِي مِنَ الإِلهِ الْوَاحِدِ لَسْتُمْ تَطْلُبُونَهُ؟
«مَجْدًا مِنَ النَّاسِ لَسْتُ أَقْبَلُ،
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ تُبَرِّرُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ قُدَّامَ النَّاسِ! وَلكِنَّ اللهَ يَعْرِفُ قُلُوبَكُمْ. إِنَّ الْمُسْتَعْلِيَ عِنْدَ النَّاسِ هُوَ رِجْسٌ قُدَّامَ اللهِ.
لأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مَنْ مَدَحَ نَفْسَهُ هُوَ الْمُزَكَّى، بَلْ مَنْ يَمْدَحُهُ الرَّبُّ.
وَلاَ طَلَبْنَا مَجْدًا مِنَ النَّاسِ، لاَ مِنْكُمْ وَلاَ مِنْ غَيْرِكُمْ مَعَ أَنَّنَا قَادِرُونَ أَنْ نَكُونَ فِي وَقَارٍ كَرُسُلِ الْمَسِيحِ.
فَقَالَ لَهُ: نِعِمَّا أَيُّهَا الْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ! لأَنَّكَ كُنْتَ أَمِينًا فِي الْقَلِيلِ، فَلْيَكُنْ لَكَ سُلْطَانٌ عَلَى عَشْرِ مُدْنٍ.
إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَخْدِمُنِي فَلْيَتْبَعْنِي، وَحَيْثُ أَكُونُ أَنَا هُنَاكَ أَيْضًا يَكُونُ خَادِمِي. وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَخْدِمُنِي يُكْرِمُهُ الآبُ.
لِذلِكَ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ إِلهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: إِنِّي قُلْتُ إِنَّ بَيْتَكَ وَبَيْتَ أَبِيكَ يَسِيرُونَ أَمَامِي إِلَى الأَبَدِ. وَالآنَ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: حَاشَا لِي! فَإِنِّي أُكْرِمُ الَّذِينَ يُكْرِمُونَنِي، وَالَّذِينَ يَحْتَقِرُونَنِي يَصْغُرُونَ.
فَمَتَى صَنَعْتَ صَدَقَةً فَلاَ تُصَوِّتْ قُدَّامَكَ بِالْبُوقِ، كَمَا يَفْعَلُ الْمُرَاؤُونَ فِي الْمَجَامِعِ وَفِي الأَزِقَّةِ، لِكَيْ يُمَجَّدُوا مِنَ النَّاسِ. اَلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُمْ قَدِ اسْتَوْفَوْا أَجْرَهُمْ!
أَمَّا الَّذِينَ بِصَبْرٍ فِي الْعَمَلِ الصَّالِحِ يَطْلُبُونَ الْمَجْدَ وَالْكَرَامَةَ وَالْبَقَاءَ، فَبِالْحَيَاةِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ.
