Commentary on John 12:43

Theological / Devotional

Loved the praise of men. See on Matt. 23:5. The Mishnah has the following, showing the value placed on the praise and honor of men: “Let the honour of thy disciple be as dear to thee as thine own, and the honour of thy colleague as the reverence for thy teacher, and the reverence for thy teacher as the fear of Heaven” (Aboth, 4:12, Soncino ed. of the Talmud, pp. 50, 51).
