SCRIPTURE

"saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done." — Luke 22:42 (ASV)

Not my will, but thine, be done.—See Notes on Matthew 26:39. Here there is a more distinct echo of the prayer which He had taught His disciples. He, too, could say, “Lead us not into temptation,” but that prayer was subject, now explicitly, as at all times implicitly, to the antecedent condition that it was in harmony with “Thy will be done.”
