Exegesis

This is followed by the main narrative verb epesen {ἔπεσεν | é-pe-sen} ‘fell,’ which is further specified by the prepositional phrase epi prosopon autou {ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ | e-pì pró-sō-pon au-toû}, portraying complete prostration with His face to the ground.

In contextMatthew 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.”
