People's Commentary (NT)
John 12:27 Now is my soul troubled. It is the shadow of the cross and the tomb. The best comment on this verse is to compare it with the account of the agony in the garden. Here he exclaims: Father, save me from this hour. There, "If it be possible, let this cup pass from me" (Matthew 26:39). Here, he adds: But for this cause came I unto this hour. There, "Nevertheless, not my will but thine be done" (Luke 22:42). Here the perfect resignation that follows the struggle in his soul is in the prayer, "Father, glorify thy name" (John 12:28).
