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 Cuando llegaron al lugar, les dijo: «Oren para que no caigan en tentación».

41 Entonces se separó de ellos a una buena distancia, se arrodilló y empezó a orar:

42 «Padre, si quieres, no me hagas beber este trago amargo; pero no se cumpla mi voluntad, sino la tuya».

43 Entonces se le apareció un ángel del cielo para fortalecerlo.

44 Pero, como estaba angustiado, se puso a orar con más fervor, y su sudor era como gotas de sangre que caían a tierra.
