How does John use the term “glorified”?

John 7:39 (ESV)

39 Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

The word is a favourite of John's in his Gospel. John depicts the whole life of Christ as a glorifying of the Son by the Father (John 8:54; John 12:28; John 13:31; John 17:1, 4), and of the Father by the Son (John 13:31–32; John 14:13; John 17:1).1
