“He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.”
'I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him. — the contrast is between Jesus (coming in the Father's name, with divine authorization) and false messiahs (coming in their own name, with only personal authority). Yet Jesus predicts the Jews will accept such imposters. This condemnation invokes the reality of false messiahs in Jewish history.
