Now is the Son of Man glorified.
Jn 13:31-33a, 34-35
Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him,God will also glorify him in himself.
Jesus glorifies the Father through his obedience even unto death.
The Father glorifies Jesus by sharing with him his eternal glory. How? By means of his Resurrection and Ascension.
I give you a new commandment: love one another.
The Synoptics speak of love of neighbor. Jesus here speaks of mutual love—loving one another in the community. The early Christians so carried out this commandment that pagans were forced to exclaim: “See how much they love one another!”
This mutual love in the Christian community becomes the sign of the presence of Jesus not only in the community itself but also in the world.
