In a context such as this, your language might say “come” instead of gone. Alternate translation: [having come away]

Note 2 topic: translate-ordinal

ἐκ δευτέρου

for ˓a˒_second

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you could use a cardinal number here or an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: [for time two]

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

saying

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: [and he said]

Note 4 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

Father (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Πάλιν ἐκ δευτέρου ἀπελθών προσηύξατο λέγων Πάτερ μού εἰ οὒ δύναται τοῦτο παρελθεῖν ἐάν μή αὐτό πίω γενηθήτω τό θέλημα σοῦ)

Father is an important title that describes the relationship between God the Father and Jesus the Son.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οὐ δύναται τοῦτο παρελθεῖν, ἐὰν μὴ αὐτὸ πίω

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Πάλιν ἐκ δευτέρου ἀπελθών προσηύξατο λέγων Πάτερ μού εἰ οὒ δύναται τοῦτο παρελθεῖν ἐάν μή αὐτό πίω γενηθήτω τό θέλημα σοῦ)

Jesus continues to refer to the sufferings he will soon experience as if they were a cup of bitter-tasting liquid that he would have to drink. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use simile form or state the meaning plainly. See how you expressed the idea in 26:39. Alternate translation: [this suffering that is like a cup full of poison is not able to pass away unless I drink from it] or [this suffering is not able to pass away unless I experience it]

Note 6 topic: writing-pronouns

The pronouns this and it refer to the cup that Jesus already mentioned in 26:39. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to the cup more directly. Alternate translation: [this cup … from it]

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who will do the action, it is clear from the context that it will be God. Alternate translation: [let your will happen] or [may you do your will]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p

If your language does not use the third-person imperative in this way, you could state this in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [do your will] or [cause your will to be done]

Since Jesus is talking to his Father, the word your here is singular.
