³⁰ Having received the piece of bread, he then went out immediately. And it was night.

³¹ So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him. ³² If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and glorify Him immediately.

John 13:30-32

When Jesus gave Judas the piece of bread he was putting in motion the events that would inevitably put Him on the cross. There was no possibility of turning events back at that point. It may have been the bravest thing He did.

Jesus was fully aware of what He had done and of the consequences of it. Now a son of Adam had been glorified in a way no man ever had before. Jesus knew that once a son of man had been glorified in this way that God was truly glorified in this man and that He was now going to be glorified by God.

⁸ And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. ⁹ Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, ¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, ¹¹ and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:8-11

God glorifying Jesus in Himself explains why this particular man who grew up in an obscure part of the Roman Empire 2000 years ago, who wrote nothing that we know of and whose immediate followers were mostly persecuted and scattered is the Son of Man and Son of God adored by millions in ages past right up to the current day.

Only God could do that.
