“This is a most difficult passage. It sounds as though the Lord is stating that he will come into the world to fulfill two wills—the will of Jehovah, the premortal God of the ancients (perhaps referred to here as ‘me’), and the will of the mortal Messiah (the person of ‘flesh’). Of course we know that they, Jehovah and Jesus, are one and the same being. At the same time, this statement dramatizes the separate and severable roles that would be played by the Master, that of the Holy One of Israel (premortal) and that of Jesus of Nazareth (mortal)” (McConkie et al., Doctrinal Commentary, 4:7).
