Jesus looked up to heaven. This was the traditional Jewish way to pray (11:41; Psalm 123:1). He probably also raised his hands (Exodus 9:33; 17:11; Psalm 28:2). Jesus said prayers like this out loud so his followers could hear them (John 11:41–42; 12:27–30; also Matthew 11:25–30; Luke 10:21–22).
Father was the usual way Jesus addressed God, which he did six times in this prayer (see also John 11:41; 12:27). This title, uncommon in the Jewish faith, showed the intimate relationship Jesus has with God.
the hour: This hour included the betrayal of Jesus by Judas, his arrest, torture, death, and resurrection (see study note on 12:23).
Glorify your Son: In the Gospel of John, the cross is a place of honor. The unity of Jesus with the Father means that if the Son receives glory, the Father will also receive glory.
