John 12:27 Context
25He that loueth his life, shall lose it: and hee that hateth his life in this world, shall keepe it vnto life eternall. 26If any man serue me, let him follow me, and where I am, there shall also my seruant be: If any man serue me, him will my father honour. 27Now is my soule troubled, and what shall I say? Father, saue me from this houre, but for this cause came I vnto this houre. 28Father, glorifie thy Name. Then came there a voice from heauen, saying, I haue both glorified it, and wil glorifie it againe. 29The people therefore that stood by, and heard it, said, that it thundered: others said, An Angel spake to him.

Bible commentary
Wesley's Notes for John 12:27
12:27 Now is my soul troubled - He had various foretastes of his passion. And what shall I say? - Not what shall I choose? For his heart was fixed in choosing the will of his Father: but he laboured for utterance. The two following clauses, Save me from this hour - For this cause I came - Into the world; for the sake of this hour (of suffering) seem to have glanced through his mind in one moment. But human language could not so express it.
People's Bible Notes for John 12:27
Joh 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" (Mt 26:39). Here, he adds: But for this cause came I unto this hour. There, "Nevertheless, not my will but thine be done" (Lu 22:42). Here the perfect resignation that follows the struggle in his soul is in the prayer, "Father, glorify thy name" (Joh 12:28).
