In John what does it mean when Jesus reveals His glory?

The question comes from the following passage in the Gospel of John:

John 17:1  Jesus spoke these things; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You,
John 17:2 even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life.
John 17:3 “This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
John 17:4 “I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do.
John 17:5 “Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

You will find a complete verse-by-verse description of this passage in Lesson 17 of our John Bible study.
