Father, glorify your name.
Then came there a voice from heaven, saying,
I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
All Commentaries on John 12:28 Go To John 12
Cornelius a Lapide
AD 1637
Glorify Me at this very instant; that both Gentiles and Jews may acknowledge that I have been sent by Thee to redeem Prayer of Manasseh , and will therefore glorify Thee for thy goodness. So Theodore of Heraclæa.
Then came there a voice, &c. I have glorified It—(1) By communicating to Him, as my only begotten Song of Solomon , my majesty, glory, and Godhead from all eternity. As He said chap. xvii5. So S. Augustine and Bede.
(2.) In creating the world, and all things therein by Him. So Rupertus.
(3.) Most sensibly. By the voice from heaven at His Baptism, and by the miracles and mighty works which He wrought. And also by the voice at this time uttered from heaven. He glorified Him also by His death and resurrection, His ascension, His sending the Holy Spirit, by the preaching of the Apostles, and the miracles, which will lead all nations to acknowledge, worship, love and adore Him as the Son of God. So S. Chrysostom, Cyril, and others.
