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.

Augustine of Hippo

A.D. 354–430 Patristic

(Tr. lii. 3) He teaches thee Whom thou shouldest call on, whose will prefer to thine own. Let Him not seem to fall from His greatness, because He wishes thee to rise from thy meanness. He took upon Him man’s infirmity, that He might teach the afflicted to say, Not what I will, but what Thou wilt. Wherefore He adds, But for this cause came I unto this hour. Father, glorify Thy name: i. e. in My passion and resurrection.
