This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 18:11. Τὸ ποτήριον, the cup) Jesus refers to those things which He had said in Mat 20:22; Mat 26:39.[379] Therefore John presupposes those particulars which Matthew wrote in the passages just quoted.-οὐ μὴ πίω; shall I not drink it?) It was at this (that He should not drink the cup) that the fighting of Peter was aiming.
[379] An undesigned coincidence between the two Evangelists; for John had not mentioned previously Jesus, prayer as to “the cup” passing from Him. But he now records the answer to that prayer in the Lord’s present full willingness to drink the cup.-E. and T.
