* The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. See on chap. vii. ver. 30. clause 2. VER. 24. ̓Αμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐὰν μὴ ὁ κόκκος τοῦ σίτου πεσὼν εἰς τὴν γῆν ἀποθάνη, αύτὸς μόνος μένει· ἐὰν δὲ ἀποθάνη, πολὺν καρπὸν φέρει. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: b but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit, a Thou fool! that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die, 1 Cor. xv. 36. b But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept, 1 Cor. xv. 20. a See on Rom. i. ver. 1. clause 2. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also, John xiv. 3. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world, xvii, 24. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise, Luke xxiii. 42, 43. 1 A. D. 33. We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord, 2 Cor. v. 8. For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is which are alive and remain, shall be far better, Phil. i. 23. Then we caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord, Wherefore comfort one another with these words, 1 Thess. iv. 17, 18. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? Jesus answered and said unto him, if a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him, John xiv. 21-23. VER. 27. Νῦν ἡ ψυχή μου τετάρακται· καὶ τί εἴπω; Πάτες, σῶσόν με ἐκ τῆς ἄρας ταύ της ἀλλὰ διὰ τοῦτο ἦλθον εἰς τὴν ὥραν ταύτην. a Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour ? but for this cause came I unto this hour. a See on Matt. xxvi. ver. 38. clause 1. b See on Matt. vii. ver. 21. clause 4. c See on Matt. xxvi. ver. 39. clause 3. d But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man, Heb. ii. 9. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil, 14. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Wherefore, when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: In burntofferings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure: Then said Πάτερ, δόξασόν σου τὸ ὄνομα. Ἦλθεν οὖν φωνὴ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ· Καὶ ἐδόξασα, καὶ πάλιν δοξάσω. Father, glorify thy name, a Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, b I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. a See on Matt. iii. ver. 17. clause 1. b When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby, John xi. 4. See also on chap. iii. ver. 2. clause 2. < Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him, John xiii. 31, 32. VER. 29. A. D. 33. as lightning fall from heaven, Luke x. 18. > Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience, Eph. ii. 2.

Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain be covered his feet, and with twain he did fy. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts, the whole earth is full of his glory. And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips : for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts, Isa. vi. 1-5. And he said, Go and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes: lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed, 9, 10. b See on chap. i. ver. 14. clause 2.

But which of you, having a servant plowing, or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat? And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? I pray for them I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine, And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them, John xvii. 9, 10. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the Scripture might be fulfilled. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them thy word; world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thouxvii. 7, 8. For whether is greater, hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and 1 in them, 26.
