Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. John 14:1
Jesus awaits His arrest and at the same time comforts His disciples. The man who will soon go to His execution, gives a final teaching, prayers, and comfort to those who will soon run away into the dark night and desert Him. Jesus had spoken before this verse of the horrors awaiting Him in Jerusalem. And still our Lord was concerned for His flock, comforting them with a future none of those deserters could merit. And we would do no better. The entire circumstance of the Savior's distress and the arrest was just too much for anyone but the Lord Jesus. Let not your heart be troubled.
