Mateo 26:42

42 Apartándose de nuevo, oró por segunda vez, diciendo: Padre mío, si ésta no puede pasar sin que yo la beba, hágase tu voluntad.

Mateo 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.

Mateo 26:42 In-Context

40 Vino<***> entonces a los discípulos y los halló<***> durmiendo, y dijo<***> a Pedro: ¿Conque no pudisteis velar una hora conmigo?

41 Velad y orad para que no entréis en tentación; el espíritu está dispuesto, pero la carne es débil.

42 Apartándose de nuevo, oró por segunda vez, diciendo: Padre mío, si ésta no puede pasar sin que yo la beba, hágase tu voluntad.

43 Y vino otra vez y los halló durmiendo, porque sus ojos estaban cargados de sueño.

44 Dejándolos de nuevo, se fue y oró por tercera vez, diciendo otra vez las mismas palabras.
