John 11:40

Context
11:40 Jesus responded, 1  “Didn’t I tell you that if you believe, you would see the glory of God?”

John 17:5

Context
17:5 And now, Father, glorify me at your side 2  with the glory I had with you before the world was created. 3 

1 tn Grk “Jesus said to her.”

2 tn Or “in your presence”; Grk “with yourself.” The use of παρά (para) twice in this verse looks back to the assertion in John 1:1 that the Word (the Λόγος [Logos], who became Jesus of Nazareth in 1:14) was with God (πρὸς τὸν θεόν, pro" ton qeon). Whatever else may be said, the statement in 17:5 strongly asserts the preexistence of Jesus Christ.

3 tn Grk “before the world was.” The word “created” is not in the Greek text but is implied.

sn It is important to note that although Jesus prayed for a return to the glory he had at the Father’s side before the world was created, he was not praying for a “de-incarnation.” His humanity which he took on at the incarnation (John 1:14) remains, though now glorified.
