{Father, glorify thy name} (pater, doxason sou to onoma).
First aorist (note of urgency) active imperative of doxaz(935c) and
in the sense of his death already in verses 16,23 and again in
13:31 17:5 . This is the prayer of the pneuma (or psuch(885c))
as opposed to that of the sarx (flesh) in verse 27 . The
"name" (onoma) of God expresses the character of God ( 1:12 5:43 17:11 ). Cf. Mt 6:9 . {A voice out of heaven} (ph(936e)(8820)ek
tou ouranou). This was the Father's answer to the prayer of
Jesus for help. See already the Father's voice at the baptism of
Jesus ( Mr 1:11 ) and at the transfiguration ( Mr 9:7 ). The
rabbis called the audible voice of God _bath-qol_ (the daughter
of a voice). {I have both glorified it and will glorify it again}
(kai edoxasa kai palin doxas(935c)). This definite assurance from
the Father will nerve the soul of Jesus for the coming ordeal.
Cf. 11:40 for edoxasa and 13:31 17:5 for doxas(935c).
