Lucas 22:42

42 “Pai, se queres, afasta de mim este cálice; contudo, não seja feita a minha vontade, mas a tua”.

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 Chegando ao lugar, ele lhes disse: “Orem para que vocês não caiam em tentação”.

41 Ele se afastou deles a uma pequena distância, ajoelhou-se e começou a orar:

42 “Pai, se queres, afasta de mim este cálice; contudo, não seja feita a minha vontade, mas a tua”.

43 Apareceu-lhe então um anjo do céu que o fortalecia.

44 Estando angustiado, ele orou ainda mais intensamente; e o seu suor era como gotas de sangue que caíam no chão.
