Luke 22:42

42 Father, if it is your pleasure, take this cup from me: but still, let your pleasure, not mine, be done.

Luke 22:42 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 22:42

Saying, Father, if thou be willing
If it be consistent with thy will of saving sinners, and which thou hast declared to me, and I have undertook to perform: the other evangelists say, "if it be possible"; (See Gill on Matthew 26:39) remove this cup from me;
meaning, either his present sorrows and distress, or his approaching sufferings and death, which he had in view, or both: nevertheless not my will;
as man, for Christ had an human will distinct from, though not contrary to his divine will: but thine be done;
which Christ undertook, and came into this world to do; and it was his meat and drink to do it, and was the same with his own will, as the Son of God; (See Gill on Matthew 26:39), and (See Gill on Matthew 26:42).

Luke 22:42 In-Context

40 And when he came to the place, he said to them, Make a prayer that you may not be put to the test.

41 And he went a little distance away from them and, falling on his knees in prayer, he said,

42 Father, if it is your pleasure, take this cup from me: but still, let your pleasure, not mine, be done.

43 And an angel from heaven came to him, to give him strength.

44 And being in great trouble of soul, the force of his prayer became stronger, and great drops, like blood, came from him, falling to the earth.
