John 12:28-29

     28. Father, glorify thy name—by a present testimony.

      I have both glorified it—referring specially to the voice from heaven at His baptism, and again at His transfiguration.

      and will glorify it again—that is, in the yet future scenes of His still deeper necessity; although this promise was a present and sublime testimony, which would irradiate the clouded spirit of the Son of man.

     29-33. The people therefore that stood by, said, It thundered; others, An angel spake to him—some hearing only a sound, others an articulate, but to them unintelligible voice.
