Luke 22:42
King James Version
7 Jun 2026
“Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.”
πατήρ
When Jesus teaches His disciples to pray, He begins with the most radical word imaginable — Father. In the ancient world, approaching God as Father was almost unthinkable. Jesus opens the door and says: this is how you come. Not as a subject before a king. As a child before a Father who already knows what you need.
