Exegesis
The aorist imperative parenegke {παρένεγκε | pa-ré-nen-ge} introduces Jesus’ specific request, governing the object to potērion touto ap’ emou {τὸ ποτήριον τοῦτο ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ | tò po-tḗ-ri-on toû-to ap’ e-moû}, where “this cup” functions metaphorically for the impending suffering and judgment He is about to endure, and the prepositional phrase “from Me” expresses desired removal of that fate from His experience.
