Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
In himself (en autw). Reflexive pronoun. God is the source of the glory (John 17:5) and is the glory succeeding the Cross (the glory with the Father in heaven).
And straightway (kai euquv). No postponement now. First and quickly the Cross, then the Ascension.
