  2. Exposition

What is the glory that was seen?

John 1:14 (ESV)

14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Glory denotes the visible manifestation of God’s self-disclosure in a theophany (Exodus 33:22; Deuteronomy 5:22). Jesus’ glory was displayed in his signs (John 2:11; John 11:4, John 11:40), though he was supremely glorified in his death and exaltation (John 7:39; John 12:16, John 12:23; John 13:31–32).1
