Did not glorify himself to be made high priest. jEdoxasen glorified is general, and is more specifically defined by genhqhnai ajrcierea to be made high priest.

But he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, etc. Supply glorified him. He did not glorify himself, but God who styled him "son" glorified him. Thou art my Son is introduced thus in close connection with the call to the priesthood, in recognition of the fact that the priesthood of Christ had its basis in his sonship. "Christ's priestly vocation ceases to be an accident in his history, and becomes an essential characteristic of his position as Son : sonship, christhood, priestliness, inseparably interwoven" (Bruce).
