The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from
dead, bare record.
And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that
Son of man should be glorified. Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is
Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that
Father may be glorified in
Son.
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father,
hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee.
I have glorified thee on
earth: I have finished
work which thou gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with
glory which I had with thee before
world was. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. He saith to him again
second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith unto him
third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him
third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob,
God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in
presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.
So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of
people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.
When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to
Gentiles granted repentance unto life. And when
Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified
word of
Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
And when they heard it, they glorified
Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of
law: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
For as many as are led by
Spirit of God, they are
sons of God. For ye have not received
spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received
Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are
children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. And that
Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among
Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
Whiles by
experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection into
gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men; And by their prayer for you, which long after you for
exceeding grace of God in you. Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. That
name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to
grace of our God and
Lord Jesus Christ.
Finally, brethren, pray for us, that
word of
Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you.
So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
Having your conversation honest among
Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in
day of visitation.
If any man speak, let him speak as
oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of
ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
If ye be reproached for
name of Christ, happy are ye; for
spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. Glimpses of God © by Joyce C.
