Mateus 26:44 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 26:44

And he left them, and went away again
At some little distance from them; they being so overpowered with sleep, that he could have no conversation with them:

and prayed the third time;
as the Apostle Paul did, when under temptation, he prayed thrice that it might depart from him, ( 2 Corinthians 12:8 ) ,

saying the same words:
the Arabic version renders it, "in the words which he before expressed"; and Munster's Hebrew Gospel reads, "he said the same prayer"; not in the selfsame words, or in the express form he had before delivered it; for it is certain, that his second prayer is not expressed in the same form of words as the first: but the sense is, that he prayed to the same purpose; the matter and substance of his prayer was the same, namely, that he might be exempted from suffering; but if that could not be admitted of, he was desirous to be resigned to the will of his heavenly Father, and was determined to submit unto it.

Mateus 26:44 In-Context

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.

45 Depois voltou aos discípulos e lhes disse: “Vocês ainda dormem e descansam? Chegou a hora! Eis que o Filho do homem está sendo entregue nas mãos de pecadores.

46 Levantem-se e vamos! Aí vem aquele que me trai!”
