Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:62

πάντες οὖν ἐδοξάσθησαν καὶ ἐμεγαλύνθησαν οὐ διʼ αὐτῶν ἢ τῶν ἔργων αὐτῶν ἢ τῆς δικαιοπραγίας ἧς κατειργάσαντο, ἀλλὰ διὰ τοῦ θελήματος αὐτοῦ.

All of them, then, were glorified and made great, not through themselves or their works or the righteous deeds they did, but through his will.
