Commentators highlight Jesus' use of "Abba," an intimate Aramaic word for father, similar to "Daddy." This was an unusually familiar way to address God at the time, revealing the profound, personal relationship Jesus had with the Father, even in His moment of greatest agony. This intimate cry, recorded by Mark, likely influenced Paul's later encouragement for believers to call God "Abba, Father" (Romans 8:15, Galatians 4:6).
