Truth
After Jesus had finished speaking to his disciples, he looked up toward heaven and prayed: Father, the time has come for you to bring glory to your Son, in order that he may bring glory to you.
—Contemporary English Version
Here Christ Jesus has entered Jerusalem for the last time and been honored by throngs of people (see 12:12, 13). Now, in his final prayer recorded by John, he describes his coming spiritual glorification—God’s exalting of His Son, which will be illustrated in the resurrection and ascension.
