Study Note
Jesus' petition 'glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was' is one of the New Testament's most explicit statements of pre-existent divine glory, making John 17 a crucial text for high Christology. The phrase 'before the world was' (pro tou ton kosmon einai) places this glory in an eternal, pre-temporal state that cannot be merely anticipatory or adoptive. The verb 'had' (eichon, imperfect) indicates continuous possession rather than a punctiliar event, reinforcing the Johannine Prologue's 'the Word was with God.' The Council of Nicaea (325 AD) drew heavily on this verse and John 1:1 to articulate the Son's eternal co-existence with the Father against Arian subordinationism.
