| 31When he had left, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him. | 31When Judas had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him. |
| 32If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. | 32If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him right away. |
