'Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again' — the divine voice at the Jerusalem entry/Passion transition is John's equivalent of the Transfiguration account, confirming that the cross is the ultimate glorification of the Father's name. The double tense — 'I have glorified' (past: ministry and signs) and 'will glorify again' (future: cross and resurrection) — frames the Passion as the culmination of a sustained revelatory program. The crowd's divided reaction (verse 29: 'some said it thundered; others, an angel') illustrates the Johannine irony that divine revelation is simultaneously available and opaque to those without faith.
