Three times the Saviour prayed: “Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me.” It was here that the destiny of a lost world trembled in the balance. Should He refuse to drink the cup, the result would be eternal ruin to the human race. But an angel from heaven strengthened the Son of God to accept the cup and drink its bitter woe. {9T 102.3} | |

Tre gange bad Frelseren: »Min Fader! er det muligt, så lad denne kalk gå mig forbi.« Det var her den fortabte verdens skæbne dirrede i vægtskålen. Hvis han nægtede at tømme kalken, ville resultatet blive menneskenes evige undergang. Men en engel fra himmelen styrkede Guds Søn til at modtage kalken og drikke dens bitre smerte. |
