That all should honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He honouring not the Son, honours not the Father having sent him.

How can ye believe, receiving glory from one another, and ye seek not the glory that from God alone? Think not that I shall accuse you to the Father: he accusing you is Moses, in whom ye have hoped. For if ye had believed Moses, ye had believed me: for he himself wrote of me. And if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
