John 12:27

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - John 12:1-50

John 12:1 . Six days before the passover. The Hebrew sabbath was kept from sunset to sunset. The worship of the day being closed, the jews indulged in a good supper after the light food of the day. This, the last week or consummation of the Saviour’s labours, was full of glory. Every day we find him in the temple, and sleeping every night in Bethany, except the night of the passover. As soon as the sabbath was over, the people having heard of his arrival at Bethany, and glowing with ardour... read more

John 12:20-33And there came certain Greeks;…the same came therefore to Philip … saying, Sir, we would see JesusThe incident and its significanceThese Greeks belonged to those numerous Gentiles who, like the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:1-40) had embraced Judaism and came to Jerusalem to keep its festivals.They must be carefully distinguished from the Jews (Hellenists) speaking the Greek language, who dwelt in heathen lands. The spacious court of the Gentiles was devoted to these proselytes... read more

John 12:27-29Now is My soul troubled.This struggle is like one of those fissures in its crust which enables science to fathom the bowels of the earth. It lets us read the very inmost depths of our Lord’s being. And what do we discover? Just the reverse of that impassive Jesus attributed by criticism to St. John. (F. Godet, D. D.)Lent, a preparation for Good Friday: or the valley of the shadow of deathIt has been well said that all Lent should be regarded as a preparationfor Good Friday and its... read more

Now is my soul troubled ] Christi perturbatio nos tranquillat, et infirmitas firmat, saith Augustine. Father, save me from this hour ] As man, he naturally feared and deprecated death; such a dreadful death especially as he was to suffer.

The Lord’s address before the Greeks, John 12:20-36. Writing mainly for Greeks, John alone reports this remarkable transaction and discourse. It brings up, dimly but significantly, the anxiety of those representatives of Greece, and the premonitions which their presence drew from Jesus, that his death was to result in the spiritual conquest of the world. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 12:27

27. My soul troubled The term soul here, in contrast with the word spirit, designates the lower sensitive part of the human nature. As at Gethsemane, so here, the conceptions of sin and hell, which are to be exemplified in the cross, fill his vision with amazement. By the punctuation which we should adopt, an interrogation point should be placed after the word hour. In his amazement therefore, the Lord exclaims, What shall I say? Shall I say, Father, save me from this hour? ... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 12:27-33

27-33. A drop of his humiliation thus described, a moment of anticipated agony, is, in the presence of these Greeks, experienced by Jesus. It is as it were a premonitory pang of Gethsemane. But instantly the glorification follows. A voice from God the Father endorses the Son, and he responsively predicts before these Greeks his triumph over the prince of this world. Thus vividly is enacted before them in quick succession the Redeemer’s cross and coronation. read more
