What Does Mark 14:39 Mean?
Jesus returns to the same ground and the same prayer: the plea about the cup, the surrender to the will of his Father. Mark notes simply that he spake the same words.
Repetition in prayer is not failure of faith; the Son of God repeated himself in his darkest hour. When Paul besought the Lord three times over the thorn in his flesh (2 Corinthians 12:8), he was following his Master through Gethsemane. Some burdens are prayed through, not prayed away in a single asking — and the same words, carried again to the same Father, are heard every time.
