SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:41
Estas cosas dijo Isaías cuando vio su gloria, y habl de l.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 12:41
Verse 41. When he saw his glory] Isa. vi. 1, &c. I saw Jehovah, said the prophet, sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphim; and one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is Jehovah, God of hosts; the whole earth shall be full of his glory! It appears evident, from this passage, that the glory which the prophet saw was the glory of Jehovah: John, therefore, saying here that it was the glory of Jesus, shows that he considered Jesus to be Jehovah. See Bishop Pearce. Two MSS. and a few versions have qeou, and tou qeou autou, the glory of God, or of his God.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 41. These things said Esaias , etc.] Concerning the blinding and hardening of the Jews: when he saw his glory, and spake of him ; when he saw, in a visionary way, the glory of the Messiah in the temple, and the angels covering their faces with their wings at the sight of him; and when he spake of him as the King, the Lord of hosts, whom he had seen, ( Isaiah 6:1-10), from whence it is clear that he had respect to the Jews in the times of the Messiah. The prophet says in ( Isaiah 6:1) that he saw the Lord: the Targumist renders it, I saw, yyd arqy ta , the glory of Jehovah; and in ( Isaiah 6:5) he says, mine eyes have seen the King, Jehovah, Zebaot, the Lord of hosts; which the Chaldee paraphrase renders, mine eyes have seen, rqy ta , the glory of the Shekinah, the King of the world, the Lord of hosts. Agreeably to which our Lord says here, that he saw his glory, the glory of his majesty, the glory of his divine nature, the train of his divine perfections, filling the temple of the human nature; and he spoke of him as the true Jehovah, the Lord of hosts; and which therefore is a very clear and strong proof of the proper divinity of Christ. And it may be observed from hence, that such persons who have a true, spiritual, and saving sight of Christ, of the glory of his person, and the fulness of his grace, cannot but be speaking of him to others, either in private, or in public, as Isaiah here did, and as the church in ( Song of Solomon 5:10- 16); and as the apostles of Christ, ( John 1:1,4 1 John 1:1,2); and indeed, should they hold their peace, the stones would cry out; such must, and will speak of his glory in his temple, ( Psalm 29:9 145:4-7,11,12).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 37-43 - Observe the method of conversion implied here. Sinners are brought to see the reality of Divine things, and to have some knowledge of them To be converted, and truly turned from sin to Christ, as their Happiness and Portion. God will heal them, will justify and sanctif them; will pardon their sins, which are as bleeding wounds, and mortif their corruptions, which are as lurking diseases. See the power of the world in smothering convictions, from regard to the applause or censur of men. Love of the praise of men, as a by-end in that which is good will make a man a hypocrite when religion is in fashion, and credit is to be got by it; and love of the praise of men, as a base principle is that which is evil, will make a man an apostate, when religion is in disgrace, and credit is to be lost for it.
