What does the Bible say about Jesus' soul being troubled?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' soul was troubled as He faced the prospect of being made sin for humanity, signifying His deep inner conflict in fulfilling His mission.

In John 12:27, Jesus expressed, 'Now is my soul troubled,' reflecting the profound emotional and spiritual turmoil He experienced as He approached the cross. This distress stemmed not merely from the anticipation of His physical suffering but from the impending reality of bearing the sins of the world. Isaiah 53:10 foretells this agony, as it was God's will for Him to be bruised and made an offering for sin. The anguish of feeling forsaken by God, as He would cry out from the cross, illustrates the weight of sin He bore, something unimaginable for His holy nature.
