John 8:49

δαιμόνιον ἔχεις, possessed, or crazed. Cf. John 10:20. To this Jesus replies: Ἐγὼ … αἰῶνα. The ἐγώ is emphatic in contrast to the expressed ὑμεῖς of the last clause; “I am not out of my mind, but all I do and say springs from my desire to honour my Father, while you for your part and on this very account dishonour me”. This dishonour does not stir His resentment, because (John 8:50) ἐγὼ … μου, “I am not seeking my own glory”. Cf. John 5:41. Nevertheless His glory is not to be carelessly slighted and turned into reproach (Psalms 4:2) for ἔστιν ὁ ζητῶν καὶ κρίνων, “there is who seeketh it and judgeth” (John 8:22-23).
