Quick answer
With Judas gone, Jesus declares that the Son of Man has now been glorified, and God in Him. It interprets the approaching cross as the moment of glory.
Overview
Jesus speaks of His coming death as already accomplished glory, for through the cross the Son and the Father are most gloriously revealed. What looks like defeat is in truth the supreme display of God's love and saving power. The verse teaches that Christ's glory shines brightest in His self-giving on the cross.
