He went a little further, and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, O My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou wilt. He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O My Father, if this cup may not pass away from Me, except I drink it, Thy will be done. And He left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. (Matt. 26:39,42,44)
If the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free. (Ex. 21:5)
He is speaking to His Father,
   Tasting deep that bitter cup,
Yet He takes it, willing rather
   For our sakes to drink it up;
Oh what love! He loved me!
Gave Himself, my soul, for thee.
