Does anybody know anywhere in the Bible that shows a time that Jesus was overwhelmed?
If so, could you please share that with me? You can email me if you want, or just comment.
Thanks.

John 12: 23-28
And Jesus answered them, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him. Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But for this purpose I have come to this hour. Father, glorify your name. "

Sadly, the word "overwhelmed" is only used in the New Testament (ESV) 1 time, in 2 Corinthians 2, talking about how we are to treat sinners, as Christians, so as not to overwhelm them. Perhaps another way to get to the feeling of "overwhelmedness" is to look at the times in the gospels when Jesus was surrounded by crowds and the Evangelists tell us "he had compassion" on them, and then performed healing acts (i.e. Luke 7:11-17). Search a good concordance, or an online Bible, for "compassion"... Just a thought - call me if you want to talk more about this! I love you!
