Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said,
Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
All Commentaries on John 13:31 Go To John 13
Cornelius a Lapide
AD 1637
When, therefore, he had gone forth, Jesus said, Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him—"is glorified," equivalent to "is soon to be glorified," the perfect put for the immediate future; Judas is now gone forth to betray Me, therefore is my cross and death nigh at hand, and so far is it from bringing ignominy on Me that, on the contrary, by it I am to be supremely glorified. For in it shall I be recognised as not only man and the Son of Prayer of Manasseh , but also the Son of God and God; for the Divinity that lieth veiled in My humanity shall be recognised by the darkening of the sun, the cleaving asunder of rocks, the opening of sepulchres, the rising up of the dead, and the quaking of all the earth,—all these things shall show forth that God suffereth and dieth upon the cross. And again by its effects, for by the cross will I subjugate to Myself the whole world, all the devils, and sin, death and hell, as the God and Lord of all things. So S. Chrysostom, Cyril, and others. And here, note that by these signs God and the Godhead of Christ not only glorified the humanity of Christ but Itself also; for in them was made manifest the infinite goodness, power, Wisdom of Solomon , majesty, and glory of Christ"s Godhead.
