Commentary for John 13:32

John 13:32 is part of the Gospel of John, which is traditionally attributed to the apostle John, a disciple of Jesus. This verse is situated within the Farewell Discourse, which takes place during the Last Supper, shortly before Jesus' crucifixion. The historical context is Jesus' final moments with his disciples, where he imparts last teachings and instructions.

The theme of the verse revolves around the concept of glorification, which in the biblical sense refers to the manifestation of God's presence and power. In this particular verse, Jesus speaks of the mutual glorification between himself and God the Father. The text suggests a reciprocal relationship where God is glorified through Jesus' obedience and exaltation, and in turn, Jesus will be glorified by God. This glorification is not only a future event but something that will happen "straightway," indicating an immediacy to the glorification that Jesus will experience through his death, resurrection, and ascension.

The verse reflects the high Christological perspective of the Gospel of John, emphasizing the unity between Jesus and the Father, and the divine plan of redemption that is about to be fulfilled through Jesus' sacrificial death. It also serves as a reassurance to the disciples (and to believers) that despite the impending trials and the apparent defeat of the crucifixion, God's glory will be revealed, affirming Jesus' divine mission and the salvific purpose of his Passion.
