John 13:31 NIV

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 13:31

Now is the Son of man glorified - The last deed is done that was necessary to secure the death of the Son of man, the glory that shall result to him from that death, the wonderful success of the gospel, the exaltation of the Messiah, and the public and striking attestation of God to him in the view of the universe. See the notes at John 12:32. read more

John 13:31-32. When he was gone out Having quitted the place in a mixture of rage and confusion, as being marked out both by Christ’s actions and words; Jesus said To the rest of the disciples, as they sat at the table with him; Now While I speak this; is the Son of man glorified Or, is just on the point of being glorified; and God is glorified in him Or, is about to be immediately glorified by the signal and extraordinary circumstances of his abasement and exaltation. And if God be... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 13:21-35

141. A traitor among them (Matthew 26:20-25; Mark 14:17-21; Luke 22:21-23; John 13:21-35)The apostles were surprised when Jesus announced that one of them would betray him, for they did not suspect treachery among them. Perhaps they thought that one of them might unintentionally betray him through speaking carelessly. But Judas knew what Jesus meant (Matthew 26:20-22; John 13:21-25). When Jesus took a piece of bread, dipped it in the dish and gave it to Judas, he was giving Judas a special... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 13:31

When therefore he was gone out, Jesus saith, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him; and God shall glorify him in himself, and straightway shall he glorify him.Four times the verb "to glorify" appears in these lines; but why this shout of victory at the very moment the traitor was dispatched for the act of betrayal? John wished to stress that the sufferings and death of Christ were not forced upon Jesus by circumstances out of his control, but were in fact accepted and... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 13:31-32

John 13:31-32. Therefore, when he was gone out,— Our Lord's sufferings were now at hand, Judas being gone out for a band of soldiers to apprehend him. After he was departed, Jesus took occasion to meditate upon the glory which would accrue both to himself and to the Father from those sufferings, and spake of it to his disciples, John 13:31. Moreover he told them, that, having already glorified his Father by the past actions of his life, and being about to glorify him yet further by his... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 13:31

31. when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified—These remarkable words plainly imply that up to this moment our Lord had spoken under a painful restraint, the presence of a traitor within the little circle of His holiest fellowship on earth preventing the free and full outpouring of His heart; as is evident, indeed, from those oft-recurring clauses, "Ye are not all clean," "I speak not of you all," &c. "Now" the restraint is removed, and the embankment which kept in... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 13:31-32

Judas’ departure to meet with the chief priests signaled the beginning of the Son of Man’s glorification, which John recorded Jesus as consistently regarding as beginning with His arrest (cf. John 12:23). Note the Savior’s positive, albeit troubled, attitude toward the events that lay before Him (John 13:21). The title "Son of Man" unites the ideas of suffering and glory, as mentioned previously. This is the last of 12 occurrences of this title in John’s Gospel."In its general usage it is the... read more

B. The Upper Room Discourse 13:31-16:33Judas’ departure opened the way for Jesus to prepare His true disciples for what lay ahead for them. This teaching was for committed disciples only. Some writers have noted that in the Old Testament, as well as in ancient Near Eastern literature generally, the farewell sayings of famous individuals receive much attention (cf. Genesis 47:29 to Genesis 49:33; Joshua 23-24; 1 Chronicles 28-29). [Note: E.g., A. Lacomara, "Deuteronomy and the Farewell Discourse... read more
