John 17:10 (Glorified)
Isaiah 42:8 says that the LORD God will not give his glory to another:
Yet the New Testament says that God the Father glorifies Jesus.
All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. — John 17:10 (ESV)
This may seem to be a contradiction. Some readers therefore conclude that Jesus must share God's own identity, because Jesus receives glory while Isaiah reserves glory for God the Father.
Isaiah 42:8 in Context
Isaiah 42 introduces the servant of God the Father. God the Father supports him and puts His Spirit on him (Isaiah 42:1).
In this setting, Isaiah 42:8 contrasts God the Father with idols, or carved gods. God the Father will not let idols receive the glory and praise that belong to him. The verse does not say that he can never give glory to a servant. Isaiah has already described a servant who receives God's support and Spirit (Isaiah 42:1).
Glory Given to Jesus
With Isaiah's contrast in view, Jesus says that his glory comes from the Father. He asks, “Father, glorify your Son, that the Son may glorify you” (John 17:1). God glorifying Jesus is thus linked to Jesus glorifying God.
Later in the same prayer, Jesus says that the Father gave him glory and that he gave this glory to his disciples so that they may be one (John 17:22). The disciples do not become God when they receive this glory. This shows that glory given by God can have a purpose that leads people back to God's honour.
Paul also says that God glorifies the people he calls and makes right with him.
And those whom He predestined He also called, and those whom He called he also justified, and those whom he justified He also glorified. — Romans 8:30 (ESV)
These are God's people, not idols or competing gods. These passages do not mean that every use of “glory” is the same in kind or degree. They do show that when God gives glory or honour to people, this is not automatically the giving of the glory and praise that Isaiah 42:8 refuses to idols.
Conclusion
Isaiah 42:8 contrasts God the Father with idols, and receiving glory does not by itself make Jesus God.
