Vers. 41. I receive not the praise of men.
Vers. 41. I receiue not the praise of men.
This verse is inserted in policy to prevent an objection that the Jews might make. For whereas he had reproved them for not coming unto him, they might think thereupon, and say; O surely this man would have many followers, he would that men should praise and applaud him. Wherefore Christ tells them, that he seeks not, he hunts not after the praise of men; it is their salvation that he aims at.

Doct. Christ in those things that he did, did not seek for his own honour, reputation and glory, but to bring salvation unto others: and so many times when he had done a great work, he withdrew himself, to take away all occasion that people should not talk of him; yea, he forbade them to speak of him.
