Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed: my Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done. The second prayer: if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done. The progression from if it be possible let this pass to if this cannot pass shows the deepening acceptance of the Father's will. The first prayer sought the possibility of alternative; the second prayer accepts the necessity.
