As the Son of God meditated upon these things, and the whole burden of his mission passed before his mind’s eye, he lifted his head and said, “Father, glorify thy name.” He thought it not robbery to be equal with God, and called upon him to glorify himself in his Son. A response came from the cloud which had hovered above the head of Jesus: “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.” {3SP 78.2}

Idet Guds søn tænkte over disse ting, og hele hans værks store betydning trådte frem for hans åndelige øje, opløftede han sit hoved og sagde: "Fader, herliggør dit navn!" Da lød der en røst fra Himmelen: Jeg har allerede herliggjort det, og jeg vil atter herliggøre det." (Joh 12,28)
