Jesus answered,
If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that honors me; of whom you say, that he is your God:
All Commentaries on John 8:54 Go To John 8
John Chrysostom
AD 407
2. What say the heretics here? That He heard the question, Are you greater than our father Abraham? and dared not to say to them, Yea, I am greater, but did so in a covert manner. What then? Is His honor nothing? With respect to them it is nothing. And as He said, My witness is not true John 5:31, with reference to the opinion they would form of it, so also does He speak here.
There is One that honors Me.
And wherefore said He not, The Father that sent Me, as He did before, but,
Of whom you say that He is your God.
