John 12:16

12:16 (His disciples did not understand these things when they first happened, ¹  but when Jesus was glorified, ²  then they remembered that these things were written about him and that these things had happened ³  to him.) ⁴ 

John 13:31-32

The Prediction of Peter’s Denial

13:31 When ⁵  Judas ⁶  had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him. 13:32 If God is glorified in him, ⁷  God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him right away. ⁸ 

John 14:13

14:13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, ⁹  so that the Father may be glorified ¹⁰  in the Son.

John 17:5

17:5 And now, Father, glorify me at your side ¹¹  with the glory I had with you before the world was created. ¹² 

Acts 3:13

3:13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, ¹³  the God of our forefathers, ¹⁴  has glorified ¹⁵  his servant ¹⁶  Jesus, whom you handed over and rejected ¹⁷  in the presence of Pilate after he had decided ¹⁸  to release him.

[12:16]  ¹ tn Or “did not understand these things at first”; Grk “formerly.”

[12:16]  ² sn When Jesus was glorified, that is, glorified through his resurrection, exaltation, and return to the Father. Jesus’ glorification is consistently portrayed this way in the Gospel of John.

[12:16]  ³ tn Grk “and that they had done these things,” though the referent is probably indefinite and not referring to the disciples; as such, the best rendering is as a passive (see ExSyn 402-3; R. E. Brown, John [AB], 1:458).

[12:16]  ⁴ sn The comment His disciples did not understand these things when they first happened (a parenthetical note by the author) informs the reader that Jesus’ disciples did not at first associate the prophecy from Zechariah with the events as they happened. This came with the later (postresurrection) insight which the Holy Spirit would provide after Jesus’ resurrection and return to the Father. Note the similarity with John 2:22, which follows another allusion to a prophecy in Zechariah (14:21).

[13:31]  ⁵ tn Grk “Then when.”

[13:31]  ⁶ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Judas) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[13:32]  ⁷ tc A number of early mss (Ì⁶⁶ א* B C* D L W al as well as several versional witnesses) do not have the words “If God is glorified in him,” while the majority of mss have the clause (so א² A C² Θ Ψ Ë¹³ 33 Ï lat). Although the mss that omit the words are significantly better witnesses, the omission may have occurred because of an error of sight due to homoioteleuton (v. 31 ends in ἐν αὐτῷ [en autw, “in him”], as does this clause). Further, the typical step-parallelism found in John is retained if the clause is kept intact (TCGNT 205-6). At the same time, it is difficult to explain how such a wide variety of witnesses would have accidentally deleted this clause, and arguments for intentional deletion are not particularly convincing. NA²⁷ rightly places the words in brackets, indicating doubt as to their authenticity.

[13:32]  ⁸ tn Or “immediately.”

[14:13]  ⁹ tn Grk “And whatever you ask in my name, I will do it.”

[14:13]  ¹⁰ tn Or “may be praised” or “may be honored.”

[17:5]  ¹¹ tn Or “in your presence”; Grk “with yourself.” The use of παρά (para) twice in this verse looks back to the assertion in John 1:1 that the Word (the Λόγος [Logos], who became Jesus of Nazareth in 1:14) was with God (πρὸς τὸν θεόν, pro" ton qeon). Whatever else may be said, the statement in 17:5 strongly asserts the preexistence of Jesus Christ.

[17:5]  ¹² tn Grk “before the world was.” The word “created” is not in the Greek text but is implied.

[3:13]  ¹³ tc ‡ The repetition of ὁ θεός (Jo qeos, “God”) before the names of Isaac and Jacob is found in Ì⁷⁴ א C (A D without article) 36 104 1175 pc lat. The omission of the second and third ὁ θεός is supported by B E Ψ 33 1739 Ï pc. The other time that Exod 3:6 is quoted in Acts (7:32) the best witnesses also lack the repeated ὁ θεός, but the three other times this OT passage is quoted in the NT the full form, with the thrice-mentioned θεός, is used (Matt 22:32; Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37). Scribes would be prone to conform the wording here to the LXX; the longer reading is thus most likely not authentic. NA²⁷ has the words in brackets, indicating doubts as to their authenticity.

[3:13]  ¹⁴ tn Or “ancestors”; Grk “fathers.”

[3:13]  ¹⁵ sn Has glorified. Jesus is alive, raised and active, as the healing illustrates so dramatically how God honors him.

[3:13]  ¹⁶ sn His servant. The term servant has messianic connotations given the context of the promise, the note of suffering, and the titles and functions noted in vv. 14-15.

[3:13]  ¹⁷ tn Or “denied,” “disowned.”

[3:13]  ¹⁸ tn This genitive absolute construction could be understood as temporal (“when he had decided”) or concessive (“although he had decided”).
