This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
42. εἰ βούλει. Aposiopesis. Sacrifice of His own will was the principle of His whole life of suffering obedience, Joh 5:30; Joh 6:38.
παρένεγκε. So BD, Vulg[383] It[384] &c. If παρενεγκεῖν be read with the Rec[385] or παρενέγκαι with א we must suppose that as in Luk 19:42 “sorrow has suppressed the apodosis”—Winer, p. 750.
[383] Vulg. Vulgate.
[384] It. Old Latin Version (Itala).
[385] Rec. The Textus Receptus.
τοῦτο τὸ ποτήριον. Mat 20:22; comp. Eze 22:31; Psa 75:8. This prayer is an instance of the “strong crying and tears,” amid which He “learned obedience by the things which He suffered,” Heb 5:7-8.
