John 12:27. Now is my soul troubled;
Or, puzzled. This hour of his glory was the hour of his passion, too.
John 12:27. And what shall I say?
Such sorrow was in his heart that he asked, "What shall I say?" Great trouble brings astonishment, amazement, bewilderment with it; and the human soul of Christ felt as ours feels when in great agony.
John 12:27. Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
Nature suggests the cry, "Father, save me from this hour." Grace comes behind the flesh, being a little slower to speak; but it corrects the errors of the flesh, and says, "For this cause came I unto this hour."
