Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say that he is your God — Jesus deflects self-glorification (echoing 8:50): if he honored himself, that honor would be worthless. Instead, the Father honors him. The authorities claim God as their God ('of whom ye say that he is your God'), yet they do not recognize that God honors Jesus. Their claim to know God is false; they do not perceive God's action toward Jesus.
