Lucas 22:42

42 «Padre, si quieres, te pido que quites esta copa de sufrimiento de mí. Sin embargo, quiero que se haga tu voluntad, no la mía».

Lucas 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).

Lucas 22:42 In-Context

40 Allí les dijo:

41 Se alejó a una distancia como de un tiro de piedra, se arrodilló y oró:

42 «Padre, si quieres, te pido que quites esta copa de sufrimiento de mí. Sin embargo, quiero que se haga tu voluntad, no la mía».

43 Entonces apareció un ángel del cielo y lo fortaleció.

44 Oró con más fervor, y estaba en tal agonía de espíritu que su sudor caía a tierra como grandes gotas de sangre.
