To LIFT UP — and to EXALT. In John the two senses are never separable: he uses it of Jesus at 3:14, 8:28 and 12:32, and at 12:33 he stops and tells the reader outright that it was said 'signifying by what death he was about to die.' Raised on a stake and raised in glory are one verb in this Gospel, and the double is the author's own, not a commentator's. 'Lifted up' keeps both, barely. → first discussed at John 3:14
