This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
8. ἐν τούτῳ. Looks back to Joh 15:5; Joh 15:7 or perhaps forward to ἵνα; comp. Joh 4:37, Joh 16:30; 1Jn 4:17. The aorist ἐδοξάσθη is similar to those in Joh 15:6. The Father is already glorified in the union between Christ and His disciples. He is glorified whenever the occasion arises. For ἵνα see on Joh 1:8 : that ye may bear much fruit and become My disciples, or disciples to Me. Even Apostles may become still more truly disciples to Christ. A well-supported reading (γενήσεσθε) gives ye shall become.
