John 12:28

+ 12:28. MPr: The glory referenced in the first clause of this verse is of the King Messiah. The second clause is proof of its Messianic application. (Ps 21:5 (Heb Bible 21:6) in Yalkut on Numbers 27:20, Midrash Ps 21:5). In addition, this passage is directly applied to the Messiah in (Midrash Genesis 15). (Ps 21:5 (Heb Bible 21:6)) + 12:28. MPr: Rephrasing “the Son of Man” with “King Messiah”. (Targum on Ps 80:17 (Heb Bible 80:18)). (Ps 80:17 (Heb Bible 80:18)) Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, glorify your name!” Then there came a voice out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.”
