‏ John 12:27

12:27 ^a my soul is deeply troubled: John used the same term (Greek tarassō) to describe Jesus’ strong emotion of agony before Lazarus’ tomb (11:33 ^b; also 13:21 ^c). When Jesus stood before death, he could not be impassive. Jesus experienced genuine anguish, yet he remained strong in obedience to the Father’s will (5:19-23 ^d; 6:37 ^e; 8:29 ^f, 38 ^g; 14:31 ^h).
