Luca 22:42

42 Padre, se tu vuoi, allontana da me questo calice! Però, non la mia volontà, ma la tua sia fatta.

Luca 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).

Luca 22:42 In-Context

40 E giunto che fu sul luogo, disse loro: Pregate, chiedendo di non entrare in tentazione.

41 Ed egli si staccò da loro circa un tiro di sasso; e postosi in ginocchio pregava, dicendo:

42 Padre, se tu vuoi, allontana da me questo calice! Però, non la mia volontà, ma la tua sia fatta.

43 E un angelo gli apparve dal cielo a confortarlo.

44 Ed essendo in agonia, egli pregava vie più intensamente; e il suo sudore divenne come grosse gocce di sangue che cadeano in terra.
