What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Cyril of Alexandria
As the Holy Spirit was about to reveal to those who should be found worthy the mystery that is in Christ, and to demonstrate completely Who He is by nature, and how great is His power and might, and that He reigneth over all with the Father, Christ is impelled to say, He shall glorify Me. …
Theophylact of Ohrid
"He will glorify Me," for He will both speak and do everything in My name, and will say nothing contrary. Therefore the miracles performed by Him will confirm that I am God, when upon you, My disciples, the abundance of grace is poured out, and My name after My death will shine even more. For this is a great and indisputable glory, when one who has been put to death and dishonored will after this shine even more brightly.

Thomas Aquinas
2105 Above, we saw two fruits of the coming of the Holy Spirit, which were the rebuking of the world and the instruction of the disciples. Now the third fruit is mentioned, the glorification of Christ. First, he mentions this fruit, the glorification; secondly, the reason for it (v 14b); thirdly, he expands on this (v 15). …
Bonaventure
He will glorify me. Here the fourth point is touched upon, namely the principle of the Holy Spirit: and this indeed is not only the Father, but also the Son; and therefore, just as the Son, because He proceeds from the Father, glorifies the Father in His works, from whom He is, so also the Holy Spirit glorifies the Son. For this reason He says: He will glorify me: and the reason is given: Because He will receive of mine and will announce it to you. …
