this second part, but also from the fact
that in the language of John the death of Jesus is constantly referred
to as His glorification, being the "lifting up" which was an essential
step to, or part of, His glorification. Before entering upon the last
scenes, which are described in chaps. xiii.-xix., Jesus is assured that
in His death the Father is to glorify His Name (xii. 28); and in the
prayer recorded in the seventeenth chapter, which closes the
explanations which our Lord Himself made of His work, it is still the
manifestation of His glory that is in His thoughts. The characteristic
which distinguishes this second part of the Gospel is, that Jesus no
longer manifests His glory to the people in signs of manifest power, but
now, in chapters xiii.-xvii., further discloses His glory privately to
the Twelve; and in chapters xviii. and xix. passes triumphantly through
the ultimate trial which still lay between Him and the final
consummation of His glory. That this final glory has been achieved is
witnessed by the Resurrection, the record of which, and of its results
in faith, occupies the twentieth chapter. De Wette has the credit of
being the first to discern that the entire Gospel is held together by
this idea of the manifestation of Christ's glory, and that "the glory of
our Lord appears in all its brightness in the second part of the
narrative (xiii.-xx.), and that (_a_) inwardly and morally in His
sufferings and death (xiii.-xix.), and (_b_) outwardly and sensibly, in
the triumphant event of the Resurrection."

The best tabulated division of the Gospel with which I am acquainted is
that which the Rev. A. Halliday Douglas, M.A., of Huntly, has printed
for private circulation. By the kindness of the author I am allowed to
publish it here.
