This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Fell on the ground (epipten epi tēs gēs). Descriptive imperfect. See him falling. Matthew has the aorist epesen.
Prayed (prosēucheto). Imperfect, prayed repeatedly or inchoative, began to pray. Either makes good sense.
The hour (hē hōra). Jesus had long looked forward to this “hour” and had often mentioned it (Joh 7:30; Joh 8:20; Joh 12:23, Joh 12:27; Joh 13:1). See again in Mar 14:41. Now he dreads it, surely a human trait that all can understand.
