All mine are yours, and yours are mine; and I have been glorified in them — The mutual ownership of Father and Son ("all mine are yours, yours are mine") expresses the profound unity of the Godhead. The perfective "I have been glorified in them" (dedoxasmai en autois) suggests that the disciples' faith and witness constitute Jesus' ongoing glory in the world. This represents a revolutionary understanding: the Son's post-resurrection glory manifests through the community of believers.
