THE KEY
God’s weight becomes visible within the Son of Man.
THE MEANING
The verse places God’s weight within the Son of Man, where it is seen. Its “now” marks a moment of disclosure: what is truly weighty stands in the open through him.
WHAT THIS UNDOES
It undoes the assumption that God’s weight appears only apart from human life: here it is made visible in the Son of Man.
THE ROOT
ἐδοξάσθη
edoxasthē
GROWS FROM
δοξάζω (doxazō, glorify) ← δόξα (doxa, weight/glory)
In this biblical usage, weight, honor, and worth becoming manifest and recognized.
The English “glorified” carries honor and splendor; the root adds the image of weight made manifest. Heard alongside כָּבוֹד (kavod, weight), the two clauses let the Son’s and God’s weight be seen together.
ALSO GROWS
doxa: Weight or honor made manifest.
δόξα
This noun names what the verb says is revealed in the Son and in God.
endoxos: Esteemed, honorable, or glorious.
ἔνδοξος
This related adjective describes what bears recognized weight, echoing the Son as bearer of God’s weight.
THE PATTERN
God’s weight becomes visible through the one who bears it.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.THE THREAD
And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.The same verb names the Son of Man’s glorification in both verses. John 12:23 calls it the hour; here, “now” marks that same disclosure.
