If anyone is ashamed of Me
The phrase "ashamed of Me" is a powerful call to allegiance and loyalty to Jesus Christ. The Greek word for "ashamed" is "ἐπαισχυνθῇ" (epaischynthē), which implies a sense of embarrassment or reluctance to be associated with someone. In the historical context of the early church, Christians faced persecution and social ostracism. This phrase challenges believers to stand firm in their faith, regardless of societal pressures or personal fears. It is a call to boldness in proclaiming one's faith in Christ, reflecting the importance of public confession and witness.

and My words
The inclusion of "My words" emphasizes the authority and divine nature of Jesus' teachings. The Greek term "λόγους" (logous) refers to the spoken words or teachings of Jesus. This highlights the inseparable link between Christ and His message. In a conservative Christian perspective, this underscores the belief in the inerrancy and authority of Scripture. Believers are called not only to embrace Jesus as Lord but also to adhere to His teachings as the foundation of their faith and practice.

the Son of Man
This title, "the Son of Man," is deeply rooted in the Old Testament, particularly in the book of Daniel 7:13-14, where it describes a messianic figure endowed with authority and glory. In the New Testament, Jesus frequently uses this title to refer to Himself, emphasizing both His humanity and His divine authority. It serves as a reminder of His role as the prophesied Messiah and the judge of all humanity. This title reassures believers of Jesus' ultimate authority and His fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy.

will be ashamed of him
The reciprocal nature of this phrase, "will be ashamed of him," serves as a solemn warning. The Greek word "ἐπαισχυνθήσεται" (epaischynthēsetai) mirrors the earlier term for "ashamed," indicating a mutual disowning. This reflects the biblical principle of reaping what one sows (Galatians 6:7). It underscores the seriousness of denying Christ and the eternal consequences of such actions. In a conservative Christian view, this is a call to remain steadfast in faith, knowing that our relationship with Christ has eternal significance.

when He comes in His glory
The phrase "when He comes in His glory" points to the second coming of Christ, a central tenet of Christian eschatology. The Greek word "δόξῃ" (doxē) signifies splendor, majesty, and divine radiance. This anticipates the future return of Christ, not in humility as in His first coming, but in majestic power and authority. It serves as a source of hope and encouragement for believers, affirming that Christ will ultimately triumph and establish His kingdom.

and in the glory of the Father
This phrase highlights the unity and shared glory between Jesus and the Father. The "glory of the Father" signifies the divine nature and authority of God the Father. It reinforces the Trinitarian belief in the co-equality and co-eternity of the Father and the Son. For believers, this is a reminder of the divine backing and authority behind Jesus' mission and message, providing assurance of the truth and reliability of His promises.

and of the holy angels
The mention of "the holy angels" underscores the heavenly entourage that will accompany Christ at His return. Angels are often depicted in Scripture as messengers and servants of God, participating in His divine plan. Their presence at the second coming signifies the cosmic significance of this event and the full manifestation of God's kingdom. For believers, this serves as a reminder of the spiritual realities that surround us and the ultimate victory of God's purposes.

(26) In his own glory, and in his Father's.--The first part of the clause is peculiar, in this report of our Lord's words, to St. Luke, and presents a point of agreement with those recorded in John 17:5.

Verse 26. - For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels. Here follows the punishment in the world to come. It consists in the Judge's solemn award to the man who has succeeded in saving his life in this world. The award is, "Depart from me: I know you not." Of such a selfish soul, who here has loved his own ease, and has declined all self-sacrifice, will the Son of man, in the day of his glory, be justly ashamed. The suffering Messiah thus completed his vivid picture of himself. Not always was he to suffer, or to wear the robe of humiliation. The Despised and Rejected would assuredly return with a glory indescribable, inconceivable. His assertion, advanced here, that he will return as Almighty Judge, is very remarkable. In the parallel passage in St. Matthew (Matthew 16:13) it is put even more clearly. There Jesus asks his disciples, "Whom do men say that I, the Son of man, am?" In ver. 27 Jesus goes on to say, "The Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father, with his angels, and then he shall reward every man according to his works." The lesson was very clear. His own might surely be content. Only let them be patient. Lo! in the poor rejected Rabbi now before them, going to his bitter suffering and his death, they were looking really on the awful form of the Almighty Judge of quick and dead. These words, very dimly understood then, in days to come were often recalled by his hearers. They formed the groundwork of many a primitive apostolic sermon.
