Exegesis
The aorist imperative doxason {δόξασόν | dóxason} issues a climactic request for the Father to glorify the Son, and the hina-clause {ἵνα | hína} supplies the purpose: the Son’s glorification is ordered toward the Son’s own glorifying of the Father. The translation keeps the participial advance, preserves the perfect’s sense of arrival, and renders the purpose clause explicitly so the reciprocity of glory remains clear.
In context — John 17:1
Having spoken these things, Jesus raised His eyes to heaven and said, “Father , the hour has come; glorify Your Son , so that the Son may glorify You.”
