SEV Biblia, Chapter 26:42
Otra vez fue, segunda vez, y or diciendo: Padre mío, si no puede este vaso pasar de mí sin que yo lo beba, hgase tu voluntad.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:42
Verse 42. O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me] If it be not possible-to redeem fallen man, unless I drink this cup, unless I suffer death for them; thy will be done-I am content to suffer whatever may be requisite to accomplish the great design. In this address the humanity of Christ most evidently appears; for it was his humanity alone that could suffer; and if it did not appear that he had felt these sufferings, it would have been a presumption that he had not suffered, and consequently made no atonement. And had he not appeared to have been perfectly resigned in these sufferings, his sacrifice could not have been a free-will but a constrained offering, and therefore of no use to the salvation of mankind.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 42. He went away again the second time , etc.] To the same place as before, or at some little distance; after he had reproved his disciples for their sleeping, and had exhorted them to watchfulness and prayer, suggesting the danger they were liable to, and the condition they were in: and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me except I drink it, thy will be done . The sense of this prayer to his God and Father is, that if his sufferings and death could not be dispensed with; if it was not consistent with the decrees of God, and the covenant of grace, that he should be excused from them; or if the glory of God, and the salvation of his people required it, that he must drink up that bitter cup, he was content to do it; desiring in all things to submit unto, and to fulfil his Fathers will, though it was so irksome and disagreeable to nature.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 36-46 - He who made atonement for the sins of mankind, submitted himself in garden of suffering, to the will of God, from which man had revolted in a garden of pleasure. Christ took with him into that part of the garde where he suffered his agony, only those who had witnessed his glory in his transfiguration. Those are best prepared to suffer with Christ, wh have by faith beheld his glory. The words used denote the most entir dejection, amazement, anguish, and horror of mind; the state of on surrounded with sorrows, overwhelmed with miseries, and almos swallowed up with terror and dismay. He now began to be sorrowful, an never ceased to be so till he said, It is finished. He prayed that, i possible, the cup might pass from him. But he also showed his perfec readiness to bear the load of his sufferings; he was willing to submi to all for our redemption and salvation. According to this example of Christ, we must drink of the bitterest cup which God puts into ou hands; though nature struggle, it must submit. It should be more ou care to get troubles sanctified, and our hearts satisfied under them than to get them taken away. It is well for us that our salvation is in the hand of One who neither slumbers nor sleeps. All are tempted, but we should be much afraid of entering into temptation. To be secure from this, we should watch and pray, and continually look unto the Lor to hold us up that we may be safe. Doubtless our Lord had a clear an full view of the sufferings he was to endure, yet he spoke with the greatest calmness till this time. Christ was a Surety, who undertook to be answerable for our sins. Accordingly he was made sin for us, an suffered for our sins, the Just for the unjust; and Scripture ascribe his heaviest sufferings to the hand of God. He had full knowledge of the infinite evil of sin, and of the immense extent of that guilt for which he was to atone; with awful views of the Divine justice an holiness, and the punishment deserved by the sins of men, such as n tongue can express, or mind conceive. At the same time, Christ suffere being tempted; probably horrible thoughts were suggested by Satan tha tended to gloom and every dreadful conclusion: these would be the mor hard to bear from his perfect holiness. And did the load of impute guilt so weigh down the soul of Him of whom it is said, He upholdet all things by the word of his power? into what misery then must thos sink whose sins are left upon their own heads! How will those escap who neglect so great salvation?
