Going a little farther, he threw himself down with his face to the ground and prayed, 1  “My Father, if possible, 2  let this cup 3  pass from me! Yet not what I will, but what you will.”

NET Notes

1 tn Grk “ground, praying and saying.” Here the participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

2 tn Grk “if it is possible.”

3 sn This cup alludes to the wrath of God that Jesus would experience (in the form of suffering and death) for us. See Ps 11:6; 75:8-9; Isa 51:17, 19, 22 for this figure.
