John 17:4-5
4 I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.
Jesus glorified His Father by completing the work He had to do. His own glory was as God's Word from before time and creation, become flesh to complete our redemption and reconciliation by teaching, suffering, dying, and rising again to life from death for us. We who are called out glorify God in Christ's sufferings and for the gospel, the good news of God's work in Jesus and in us.
