Glory Within, Love Without

John 13:31-38 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read John 13 in context

Scripture Focus

31Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
32If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.
33Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.
34A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
36Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.
37Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.
38Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.
John 13:31-38

Biblical Context

Jesus declares that the Son of Man is glorified and God is glorified in him, then speaks of leaving soon. He gives a new command to love one another as he has loved them, and warns of Peter's coming denial.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's voice: The 'glorified' Son of Man is not a distant event but your inner realization that you are the I AM, the living God within. When he says God is glorified in him, you are learning that your awareness itself shines most when it serves freely; glorification is not a public show but the inner alignment of attention with the truth that you are one with all life. The 'new commandment' to love one another as I have loved you becomes a practice to recognize the Self in every person, to treat all as extensions of your own consciousness, to let your love be the light that reveals unity. By this shall all men know you are my disciples—the external world mirrors your inner coherence: where you condemn, you condemn yourself; where you forgive, you prove your divine nature. Peter's dialogue is the ego's fear of loss of control; the prophecy of denial is the old self clinging to separation. You, however, can revise by remaining within the I AM, affirming that you already follow in the next state of consciousness, where love dissolves all division.

Practice This Now

Practice: close your eyes, assume the state 'I am the glorified I AM now,' and feel the unity of all life as your own awareness. Revise a moment of conflict by loving as Jesus loves, seeing the other as a facet of your own Self, until the feeling of oneness remains.
