For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
All Commentaries on John 12:43 Go To John 12
The Apostolic Constitutions
AD 375
When we are persecuted, let us not think it strange; let us not love the present world, nor the praises which come from men, nor the glory and honour of rulers, according as some of the Jews wondered at the mighty works of our Lord, yet did not believe on Him, for fear of the high priests and the rest of the rulers: "For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God."
