What does John 13:32 mean?
"If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately."
— John 13:32 (World English Bible)
Surrounding context
For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus said to him, “Buy what things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.
Therefore having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night.
When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.
Little children, I will be with you a little while longer. You will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come,’ so now I tell you.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
Explanation
John 13:32 records words Jesus spoke to his disciples during the Last Supper, immediately after Judas Iscariot left the room to betray him. In plain language, Jesus is saying that since God the Father has been honored and made known through the Son's obedience, God will, in turn, honor the Son directly in his own presence, and this will happen very so
