This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
5. This and Joh 17:4 are parallels: ‘I Thee glorified on earth; glorify Me Thou in heaven;’ the pronouns being placed side by side for emphasis. Καὶ νῦν means ‘now that all is completed;’ and παρὰ σεαντῷ ‘side by side with Thee, in fellowship with Thee.’ The imperfect, εἷχον, implies continual possession. The following great truths are contained in these two verses; (1) that the Son is in Person distinct from the Father; (2) that the Son, existing in glory with the Father from all eternity, working in obedience to the Father on earth, existing in glory with the Father now, is in Person one and the same.
