JOHN 12:27 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.”
Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour — Jesus expresses internal turbulence (tetaraktai, troubled) facing the approaching passion, acknowledging the temptation to ask the Father to rescue Him from this hour. However, He rejects this temptation, affirming that facing this hour is precisely His purpose. The struggle is real, but His commitment to the Father's mission is resolute.
