SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:35
Y yndose un poco adelante, se postr en tierra, y or, que si fuese posible, pasase de l aquella hora,
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 35. And he went forward a little , etc..] About a stone's cast, ( Luke 22:41), and fell on the ground, and prayed ; he fell on his face to the ground, which was a praying posture. One of the Jewish canons concerning it, is this f243 : worshipping, how is it done? after a man has lifted up his head; he bows it five times, he sits upon the ground, and falls upon his face, h x ra , to the ground, and supplicates with whatsoever supplication he pleases: worshipping, or bowing, is the stretching out of hands and feet, until a man is found cast upon his face to the ground. (See Gill on Matthew 26:39). The supplication Christ made in this posture was, that, it were possible, the hour might pass from him ; the time fixed and agreed upon for his sufferings and death; that is, that it might pass without his enduring them, if there was any possibility of excusing him, and of his people's being saved without them; (see Gill on Matthew 26:39).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 32-42 - Christ's sufferings began with the sorest of all, those in his soul. He began to be sorely amazed; words not used in St. Matthew, but very ful of meaning. The terrors of God set themselves in array against him, an he allowed him to contemplate them. Never was sorrow like unto his a this time. Now he was made a curse for us; the curses of the law wer laid upon him as our Surety. He now tasted death, in all the bitternes of it. This was that fear of which the apostle speaks, the natural fea of pain and death, at which human nature startles. Can we eve entertain favourable, or even slight thoughts of sin, when we see the painful sufferings which sin, though but reckoned to him, brought of the Lord Jesus? Shall that sit light upon our souls, which sat so heav upon his? Was Christ in such agony for our sins, and shall we never be in agony about them? How should we look upon Him whom we have pierced and mourn! It becomes us to be exceedingly sorrowful for sin, becaus He was so, and never to mock at it. Christ, as Man, pleaded, that, i it were possible, his sufferings might pass from him. As Mediator, he submitted to the will of God, saying, Nevertheless, not what I will but what thou wilt; I bid it welcome. See how the sinful weakness of Christ's disciples returns, and overpowers them. What heavy clogs thes bodies of ours are to our souls! But when we see trouble at the door we should get ready for it. Alas, even believers often look at the Redeemer's sufferings in a drowsy manner, and instead of being ready to die with Christ, they are not even prepared to watch with him one hour.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
35. Prayed (proshuceto). Imperfect tense: began to pray.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
14:35 {Fell on the ground} (epipten epi tes ges). Descriptive imperfect. See him falling. Matthew has the aorist epesen. {Prayed} (proseuceto). Imperfect, prayed repeatedly or inchoative, began to pray. Either makes good sense. {The hour} (he hwra). Jesus had long looked forward to this "hour" and had often mentioned it (#Joh 7:30; 8:20; 12:23,27; 13:1). See again in #Mr 14:41. Now he dreads it, surely a human trait that all can understand.
