We're probably splitting hairs. I would say the emotion of Jesus was more trepidation over the certain and impending pain.

That is not orthodox doctrine at all. Only one person of the Godhead, the Son, experienced the Passion and that Passion fully united with the Purpose of the Father, and manifested by the Holy Spirit.
