John 13:31-33
31 So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him. 32 If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and glorify Him immediately. 33 Little children, I shall be with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come,’ so now I say to you.
Jesus was glorified in Himself, which meant God was glorified in Him because they are God. Jesus said He would immediately or shortly be giving and given glory - He spoke of the suffering, death, and resurrection about to transpire. When leaving, the disciples could not yet follow into death and back. That would come only after Jesus had gone first as the first fruits of we who are His.
