Bible Question: In Matthew 26:39 Jesus said " O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. What Cup was Jesus talking about or how is this to be translated? |
Bible Answer: Hi, Terrence... Welcome to the forum! The use of the word cup used in this way is an old Hebrew metaphor. It means that which has been assigned. In English we might use the word portion, allowance, or allotment. Look at the following passages to get a sense of how the expression is used: Psalm 16:15; 75:8; Jeremiah 25:28; Ezekiel 23:33; John 18:11; Revelation 18:6. The cup that our Lord Jesus faced, was the pouring out of the wrath of God on sin as a propitiation (a payment in full) for the sin of His people (Romans 3:24-26; Hebrews 2:17; 1 Thessalonians 5:9).
