John 13:31When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
The setting
Jerusalem, ~30 AD. Thursday night. Upper room. Moments after Judas leaves, Jesus speaks of glory coming through the cross just hours away.
The emotion here: peaceful resolve facing imminent death
The original word
doxazō (ἐδοξάσθη) — to reveal true nature and worth, make glorious
Why it matters
Jesus used past tense 'has been glorified' — He saw His crucifixion as already accomplished
Read with care
What most readers miss in John 13:31
Jesus celebrates glory AFTER the betrayer leaves — He sees Judas' exit as the beginning of His glorification
Common misconceptionPeople think Jesus is talking about future heavenly glory, but He's celebrating that His betrayal and crucifixion will reveal God's love to the world. The glory comes through the suffering, not after it.
