John 12:27
King James Version
8 Jun 2026
“Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.”
πατήρ
When Jesus teaches His disciples to pray, He begins with the most radical word imaginable — Father. In the ancient world, approaching God as Father was almost unthinkable. Jesus opens the door and says: this is how you come. Not as a subject before a king. As a child before a Father who already knows what you need.
