Luke 22:41-42

Context
22:41 He went away from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and prayed, 22:42 “Father, if you are willing, take¹ this cup² away from me. Yet not my will but yours³ be done.”

[22:42] ¹tn Luke’s term παρένεγκε is not as exact as the one in Matt 26:39. Luke’s means “take away” (BDAG 772 s.v. παρένεγκε 2.c) while Matthew’s means “take away without touching,” suggesting an alteration (if possible) in God’s plan. For further discussion see D. L. Bock, Luke (BECNT), 2:1759-60.

[22:42] ²sn 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.

[22:42] ³sn With the statement “Not my will but yours be done” Jesus submitted fully to God’s will.
