Jesus prays the prayer for the cup to pass from him enfolded in a prayer of "Thy will be done" not just once, not just twice (v42), but three times (v44), a perfect number, the number of divinty.
The construction in this verse, it may not surprise us, is word-for-word in the Greek as it is in the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:10.
Pray the Lord's Prayer several times today, if this is not already your practice. Traditional daily prayer times are morning, noon, sundown and night (bedtime).
