King James wording
King James Version
And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.THE KEY
Jesus is glorified in them because divine weight becomes visible through shared belonging.
THE MEANING
Belonging is shared without being divided: what is his is the Father’s, and what is the Father’s is his. His weight is visible in the people joined to him, so honor moves through relationship.
WHAT THIS UNDOES
The lie that sharing means losing what is yours gives way to complete mutual belonging.
THE ROOT
δεδόξασμαι
dedoxasmai
GROWS FROM
δοξ- (dox-), the stem behind δόξα and δοξάζω
Weight, glory, esteem
“clothed in weight” in this verse is dedoxasmai. The verb δεδόξασμαι (dedoxasmai) means “I have been glorified,” carrying the sense of weight coming into view. Since the verse locates this weight “in them,” honor is present in the shared life of those belonging to the Father and the Son.
ALSO GROWS
doxa: Weight, glory
δόξα
This noun carries the weight that the verse says is visible in them.
doxazō: Glorify, give weight
δοξάζω
This verb names the act of making that weight evident.
endoxos: Held in honor, glorious
ἔνδοξος
This related form shows how weight can be recognized as honor.
THE PATTERN
What belongs to God is shared through relationship, and divine glory becomes visible in those who belong to him.
And the weight you gave me I have given them, that they may be one, even as we are one.And you are the Anointed One's, and the Anointed One is God's.A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD's, and what fills it; the inhabited world, and those who settle in it.THE THREAD
And the weight you gave me I have given them, that they may be one, even as we are one.“Glory” here is δόξα (doxa), “weight,” from the same Greek word family as “glorified” in John 17:10. The next verse shows that this weight is shared with them, making the mutual belonging of verse 10 visible as oneness.
