2 | What Cup was Jesus talking about? | Matt 26:39 | Jalek | 240476 | ||
Greetings, It's an idiom. Basically, Jesus is asking God the Father if it is at all possible for the coming events to not take place. He's distressed and nervous over the coming beatings and crucifixion. In Dr. Luke's account of this prayer, he describes Jesus as praying with drops of blood, which is a medical condition brought on by severe stress where the blood vessels and sweat glands touch each other. It makes the skin very sensitive. Basically, the Cup represents all that is about to happen to Jesus. This is eluded to earlier in Matthew 20:20-23. The same basic meaning applies in both passages.
