Exegesis
Plen {πλὴν | plḕn} signals the turning point from request to surrender, and the contrast between to thelema mou {τὸ θέλημά μου | to thélēma mou} and to son {τὸ σὸν | tò sòn} is sharpened by alla {ἀλλὰ | allá}, placing the Father’s purpose over Jesus’ own human desire.

In context — Luke 22:42
Saying, “Father , if You consent, carry this cup away from Me; yet let not My will, but Yours, come to pass.”
