The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917]
cup

The "cup" must be interpreted by our Lord's own use of that symbol in speaking of His approaching sacrificial death (Mat 20:22); (Joh 18:11). In view of (Joh 10:17); (Joh 10:18); He could have been in no fear of an unwilling death. The value of the account of the agony in the Garden is in the evidence it affords that He knew fully what the agony of the cross would mean when His soul was made an offering for sin, (Isa 53:10); in the hiding of the Father's face. Knowing the cost to the utmost, he voluntarily paid it.

10 Yet it pleased [02654] the LORD [03068] to bruise [01792] him; he hath put him to grief [02470]: when thou shalt make [07760] his soul [05315] an offering for sin [0817], he shall see [07200] his seed [02233], he shall prolong [0748] his days [03117], and the pleasure [02656] of the LORD [03068] shall prosper [06743] in his hand [03027].

22 But [1161] Jesus [2424] answered [611] and said [2036], Ye know [1492] not [3756] what [5101] ye ask [154].

44 And [2532] being [1096] in [1722] an agony [74] he prayed [4336] more earnestly [1617]: and [1161] his [846] sweat [2402] was [1096] as it were [5616] great drops [2361] of blood [129] falling down [2597] to [1909] the ground [1093].
