John 12:27
Douay-Rheims
Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause I came unto this hour.
John Chrysostom
(Hom. lxvii) As He draws near to the Cross, His human nature appears, a nature that did not wish to die, but cleaved to this present life. He shews that He is not quite without human feelings. For the desire of this present life is not necessarily wrong, any more than hunger. Christ had a body free from sin, but not from natural infirmities. But these attach solely to the dispensation of His humanity, not to His divinity.
