JOHN 12:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.”
Jesus replied, 'The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified — this is the pivotal moment in John's Gospel: the 'hour' (hē hōra) that has been 'not yet come' throughout (2:4, 7:30, 8:20) has now arrived. The arrival of the Greeks represents the opening of Jesus' ministry to the nations, signaling that the time for His glorification (doxa, which in John includes both exaltation and crucifixion) has come. The question about seeing Jesus precipitates Jesus' pronouncement that the defining moment of His mission is now at hand.
