SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:28
Padre, clarifica tu Nombre. Entonces vino una voz del cielo: Y lo he clarificado, y lo clarificar otra vez.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 12:28
Verse 28. Father, glorify thy name.] By the name of God is to be understood himself, in all his attributes: his wisdom, truth, mercy, justice, holiness, &c., which were all more abundantly glorified by Christ's death and resurrection, (i.e. shown forth in their own excellence,) than they had ever been before. Christ teaches here a lesson of submission to the Divine will. Do with me what thou wilt, so that glory may redound to thy name. Some MSS. read, Father, glorify my name: others, glorify thy Son.
Then came there a voice from heaven, &c.] The following is a literal translation of Calmet's note on this passage, which he has taken from Chrysostom, Theodouret, Theophylact, and others: "I have accomplished my eternal designs on thee. I have sent thee into the world to make an atonement for the sin of the world, and to satisfy my offended justice. I will finish my work. Thou shalt shed thy blood upon the cross. My glory is interested in the consummation of thy sacrifice. But, in procuring my own glory, I shall procure thine. Thy life and thy death glorify me: I have glorified thee by the miracles which have accompanied thy mission; and I will continue to glorify thee at thy death, by unexampled prodigies, and thy resurrection shall be the completion of thy glory and of thy elevation." Christ was glorified: 1st. By the prodigies which happened at his death. 2.
In his resurrection. 3. In his ascension, and sitting at the right hand of God.
4. In the descent of the Holy Ghost on the apostles. and 5. In the astonishing success with which the Gospel was accompanied, and by which the kingdom of Christ has been established in the world. 2 Cor. ii. 14.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 27-33 - The sin of our souls was the troubled of Christ's soul, when he undertook to redeem and save us, and to make his soul an offering for our sin. Christ was willing to suffer, yet prayed to be saved from suffering. Prayer against trouble may well agree with patience unde it, and submission to the will of God in it. Our Lord Jesus undertoo to satisfy God's injured honour, and he did it by humbling himself. The voice of the Father from heaven, which had declared him to be his beloved Son, at his baptism, and when he was transfigured, was hear proclaiming that He had both glorified his name, and would glorify it Christ, reconciling the world to God by the merit of his death, brok the power of death, and cast out Satan as a destroyer. Christ, bringin the world to God by the doctrine of his cross, broke the power of sin and cast out Satan as a deceiver. The soul that was at a distance from Christ, is brought to love him and trust him. Jesus was now going to heaven, and he would draw men's hearts to him thither. There is powe in the death of Christ to draw souls to him. We have heard from the gospel that which exalts free grace, and we have heard also that whic enjoins duty; we must from the heart embrace both, and not separat them.
