Verse 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 .
