And he said,
Abba, Father, all things are possible unto you; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what you will.
All Commentaries on Mark 14:36 Go To Mark 14
Hilary of Poitiers
AD 368
Though with God nothing is impossible, yet for human nature it is impossible to ignore the fear of suffering. Only by trial can faith be proved. Thus as a human being he prays in a human manner that the cup may pass away, but as God from God, his will is in unison with the Father’s effectual will.
