Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
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.”
On this verse:
“(Tr. lii. 4) I have glorified it, i. e. before I made the world; and will glorify it again, i. e. when Thou shalt rise from the dead. Or, I have glorified it, when Thou wast born of a Virgin, didst work miracles, wast made manifest by the Holy Ghost descending in the shape of a dove; and will glorify it again, when Thou shalt rise from the dead, and, as God, be exalted above the heavens, and Thy glory above all the earth.”
