John quoted from Isaiah 6 where Isaiah saw the glory of Yahweh and then proceeds to say he actually saw the glory of Christ (John 12:41). He was well familiar with what Isaiah 6:1-3 said about Isaiah seeing Adonai on the throne in glory and yet deliberately and consciously used the very same Greek terms from the Greek Septuagint "saw" (eiden) and "His glory" (tēn doxan autou, lit. "the glory of Him") from Isaiah 6:1 (all the same roots, including definite article). Clearly John wanted his readers' minds to go to Isaiah 6 in order to reveal the truth about the identity of the Messiah.
