John 12:26
If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. (John 12:26)
My Father honour.
 For the rewards of service see Mark 10:29, 30. The conditions and rewards of discipleship are here given, doubtless with reference to the Greeks, who were apparently contemplating discipleship.
Where I am.
 Spiritual fellowship and communion with his Lord will be the privilege of him who serves the Lord in this life (Matt. 28:20), and face to face communion will be his to enjoy in the world to come.
Serve me.
Follow me.
 See on Matt. 16:24; cf. Mark 8:34.
