Context Summary

John 13:31-38 - The Sign And Seal Of Discipleship
It was a relief when the traitor was gone. The Lord could now speak freely of His love and of His approaching glory, expatiating on the shining tablelands, but not as yet revealing even to Peter the dark ravine which separated Him from them, and the shadows which He was already entering. Peter was most anxious to be with Jesus wherever He was. Life without Jesus seemed impossible.
Peter relied upon his strong resolution to keep him faithful to his Master, but found it unavailing, as we have ourselves experienced many a time. Do not vaunt in self-confidence what you will or will not do, but seek strength from the living Lord. How little we know ourselves! Yet the time would come when this ardent spirit would be able to fulfill its vow through the Spirit of Pentecost, John 21:18; 2 Peter 1:14. [source]

Greek Commentary for John 13:32

In himself [εν αυτωι]
Reflexive pronoun. God is the source of the glory (John 17:5) and is the glory succeeding the Cross (the glory with the Father in heaven). And straightway No postponement now. First and quickly the Cross, then the Ascension. [source]
If God be glorified in Him []
The most ancient authorities omit. [source]
In Himself [ἐν ἑαυτῷ]
His glory will be contained in and identified with the divine glory. Compare “the glory which I had with thee,” παρὰ σοί (John 17:5). Ἑν inindicates unity of being; παρά withunity of position. [source]
