"The Evangelist will have had in mind the glory of the Christ which the witnesses saw in the signs he performed (e.g., 2:11), in his being lifted up on the cross (19:35), and in the Easter resurrection (20:24–29). It was a revelation of glory such as could proceed alone from the “μονογενής from the Father,” – Beasley-Murray, George R. (Word Biblical Commentary 36, 2002), p. 14.
The glory of the Messiah motivated the words of Isaiah 53:1. There is mention of glory δοξα in the LXX of the suffering servant song Isa. 52:14 which is perhaps the reference of John 12:41 otherwise it is Isaiah 6:1-8 which also uses the term.
To the Father is reserved the title "God of peace" (Rom. 15:33; 16:20; Phil. 4:9; 1Thess. 5:23; Heb. 13:20) while Jesus Christ is the "Lord of peace." (2Thess. 3:16) Similarly, the Father is the "God of glory" (Ps. 29:3; Ac. 7:2) The Son is the "Lord of glory." (1 Cor. 2:7) The Son is typically Lord and the Father is typically God per 1 Cor. 8:6. The Son reflecting the glory of the Father.
