Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 22:41-42

"And he was parted from them about a stone`s cast; and he kneeled down and prayed, saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done." — Luke 22:41-42 (ASV)

And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, saying, Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but yours, be done.

We can read these words in a calm, quiet tone; but they were uttered by our Lord with an intensity of agony which we can scarcely call up before our mind's eye. So terrible was that agony, that our Saviour became utterly weak and faint through the intensity of his pleading.
