That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father who has sent him.
All Commentaries on John 5:23 Go To John 5
Clement Of Rome
AD 99
But how could the Father be revealed to you, who do not believe in the Son, since the Father is known to none except him to whom the Son is pleased to reveal Him? But the Son reveals the Father to those who honour the Son as they honour the Father."
