If God is glorified in Him
The phrase begins with a conditional "if," suggesting a certainty rather than a mere possibility, given the context of Jesus' mission. The Greek word for "glorified" is "δοξάζω" (doxazō), which means to honor, praise, or magnify. In the context of Jesus' life and mission, this glorification is not just about praise but about the revelation of God's character and purpose through Jesus. Historically, this reflects the Jewish understanding of God's glory as His manifest presence, as seen in the Shekinah glory in the Old Testament. Jesus, in His actions and forthcoming sacrifice, is the ultimate revelation of God's glory.

God will also glorify Him in Himself
Here, the reciprocity of glorification is emphasized. The Father glorifies the Son, and this glorification is intrinsic, "in Himself." The Greek word "ἐν" (en) indicates a deep, intimate union between the Father and the Son. This reflects the Trinitarian relationship, where the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct yet one. Historically, this mutual glorification is seen in the resurrection and ascension of Jesus, where His divine nature and mission are fully revealed and affirmed by the Father.

and will glorify Him at once
The phrase "at once" is translated from the Greek word "εὐθύς" (euthys), meaning immediately or without delay. This indicates the immediacy and certainty of the glorification process. In the context of the Gospel of John, this points to the events of the crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension as a single, unified act of glorification. Theologically, it underscores the urgency and inevitability of God's redemptive plan through Jesus. Historically, this reflects the early Christian understanding that Jesus' death and resurrection were not separate events but part of a divine continuum that revealed God's glory and purpose for humanity.

(32) If God be glorified in him.--These words are omitted by a majority of the best MSS.

God shall also glorify him in himself.--The tense now changes to the future, and the glory thought of is that of the Father's throne. The words "in Himself," refer to "God," not to "the Son of Man." The thought is that the humiliation by which God is manifested to the world is the glory of God in the person of the Son of Man, and that this shall be followed by the glory of the Son of Man in the person of God, not simply and generally by His return to the glory of the pre-incarnate state, but by His return to it as the Son of Man. (Comp. Notes on John 17:4-5.)

And shall straightway glorify him.--This accounts for the present tense of the last verse. The whole is present to His mind as occurring forthwith.
