Mateus 26:42 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 26:42

He went away again the second time
To the same place as before, or at some little distance; after he had reproved his disciples for their sleeping, and had exhorted them to watchfulness and prayer, suggesting the danger they were liable to, and the condition they were in:

and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from
me except I drink it, thy will be done.
The sense of this prayer to his God and Father is, that if his sufferings and death could not be dispensed with; if it was not consistent with the decrees of God, and the covenant of grace, that he should be excused from them; or if the glory of God, and the salvation of his people required it, that he must drink up that bitter cup, he was content to do it; desiring in all things to submit unto, and to fulfil his Father's will, though it was so irksome and disagreeable to nature.

Mateus 26:42 In-Context

40 Depois, voltou aos seus discípulos e os encontrou dormindo. “Vocês não puderam vigiar comigo nem por uma hora?”, perguntou ele a Pedro.

41 “Vigiem e orem para que não caiam em tentação. O espírito está pronto, mas a carne é fraca”.

42 E retirou-se outra vez para orar: “Meu Pai, se não for possível afastar de mim este cálice sem que eu o beba, faça-se a tua vontade”.

43 Quando voltou, de novo os encontrou dormindo, porque seus olhos estavam pesados.

44 Então os deixou novamente e orou pela terceira vez, dizendo as mesmas palavras.
