It underscores the importance of personal communion with God, especially during times of distress. The setting is the Garden of Gethsemane, a place Jesus frequented (<a href="/john/18-2.htm">John 18:2</a>), located on the Mount of Olives, which holds significant biblical history as a place of worship and prophecy (<a href="/zechariah/14-4.htm">Zechariah 14:4</a>). This moment reflects Jesus' humanity, as He seeks strength and guidance from the Father, emphasizing His role as the intercessor (<a href="/hebrews/7-25.htm">Hebrews 7:25</a>).<p><b>saying the same thing</b><br>This repetition in prayer indicates the intensity and earnestness of Jesus' supplication. It reflects the Jewish tradition of persistent prayer, as seen in the Psalms and the teachings of Jesus on perseverance in prayer (<a href="/luke/18.htm">Luke 18:1-8</a>). The content of His prayer, asking for the cup to pass from Him yet submitting to the Father's will (<a href="/mark/14-36.htm">Mark 14:36</a>), reveals His obedience and fulfillment of prophecy as the Suffering Servant (Isaiah 53).
