[111] The word "glory" with its companion "glorify," is frequent in John. We shall understand better if we remember that originally the word he uses means the opinion that one has of another, especially a good opinion. But as the word is used commonly here the underlying thought is, not what one thinks of another, nor yet something that one may give to another, but _the actual character in the one so thought of._ Glory is the character of goodness. So _to see one's glory_ is to see his real inner character, and to see that character openly recognized and acknowledged. So to _glorify_ means to recognize and acknowledge openly the true character of one. Twice in John the word is used in the cheaper meaning of outer honour among men. vii. 18; viii. 50.
