John 12:44

Jesus’ Final Public Words

12:44 But Jesus shouted out, ¹  “The one who believes in me does not believe in me, but in the one who sent me, ² 

John 13:31

The Prediction of Peter’s Denial

13:31 When ³  Judas ⁴  had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him.

John 17:4-5

17:4 I glorified you on earth by completing ⁵  the work you gave me to do. ⁶  17:5 And now, Father, glorify me at your side ⁷  with the glory I had with you before the world was created. ⁸ 

Philippians 2:9-11

2:9 As a result God exalted him

and gave him the name

that is above every name,

2:10 so that at the name of Jesus

every knee will bow

– in heaven and on earth and under the earth –

2:11 and every tongue confess

that Jesus Christ is Lord

to the glory of God the Father.

[12:44]  ¹ tn Grk “shouted out and said.”

[12:44]  ² sn The one who sent me refers to God.

[13:31]  ³ tn Grk “Then when.”

[13:31]  ⁴ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Judas) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[17:4]  ⁵ tn Or “by finishing” or “by accomplishing.” Jesus now states that he has glorified the Father on earth by finishing (τελειώσας [teleiwsas] is best understood as an adverbial participle of means) the work which the Father had given him to do.

[17:4]  ⁶ tn Grk “the work that you gave to me so that I may do it.”

[17:5]  ⁷ 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]  ⁸ tn Grk “before the world was.” The word “created” is not in the Greek text but is implied.
