Exegesis
The verse opens with the participial sequence kai proelthon mikron {καὶ προελθὼν μικρὸν | kaí pro-el-thṓn mí-kron}, where the aorist participle proelthon functions temporally, indicating action prior to the main verb: after He had gone a little farther.
In context — Matthew 26:39
And having gone forward a little, He fell upon His face, praying and saying, “My Father , if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will , but as You will.”
