When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
Observe here, 1. Our blessed Lord calls his death his glory: Now is the Son of man glorified; that is, now is the time at hand when I am to die, and shall by my death finish the work of man's redemption, and thereby eminently glorify God. God the Father was eminently glorified in the obedience and sufferings of his dear and only Son.
Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. (3) We have to see the glorifying of Christ in his dishonour. (g) This verse and the one following are a most plain and evident testimony to the divinity of Christ.
Verse 31. Now is the Son of man glorified. The last deed is done that was necessary to secure the death of the Son of man, the glory that shall result to him from that death, the wonderful success of the gospel, the exaltation of the Messiah, and the public and striking attestation of God to him in the view of the universe. .
