ἐκεῖνος ἐμέ. Both pronouns are emphatic; ‘Me shall that Spirit glorify.’ Just as the Son glorifies the Father by revealing Him (John 1:18; John 17:4) both in word and work, so does the Spirit glorify the Son by revealing Him. In both cases to reveal is necessarily to glorify: the more the Truth is known, the more it is loved and adored. Λήμψεται here and λαμβάνει in John 16:15 must be rendered alike, and by take rather than ‘receive;’ it implies that the recipient is not wholly passive: comp. John 10:17; John 12:48; John 20:22.
