Mark 14:35

“And he went forward a little, etc..] About a stone's cast, (<422241>Luke 22:41), and fell on the ground, and prayed; he fell on his face to the ground, which was a praying posture. One of the Jewish canons concerning it, is this f243: “worshipping, how is it done? after a man has lifted up his head; he bows it five times, he sits upon the ground, and “falls upon his face”, hra, “to the x ground”, and supplicates with whatsoever supplication he pleases: worshipping, or bowing, is the stretching out of hands and feet, until a man is found cast upon his face to the ground.” (See Gill on “<402639>Matthew 26:39”).

Since it was normal to pray out loud, Jesus’ prayer was probably overheard by the three disciples, who would not have fallen asleep immediately. • Jesus addressed God as Abba, Father, indicating their close relationship (see Rom 8:15; Gal 4:6). • Please take this cup . . . from me: In faith, Jesus expressed his own feelings and desires to the Father.
