Matthew 26:39 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

And going a little farther — About a stone's cast, Luke 22:41— So that the apostles could both see and hear him still. If it be possible, let this cup pass from me — And it did pass from him quickly. When he cried unto God with strong cries and tears, he was heard in that which he feared. God did take away the terror and severity of that inward conflict.

Matthew 26:39

39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying,O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
