Luke’s means “take away” (BDAG 772 s.v. παρένεγκε 2.c) while Matthew’s means “take away without touching,” suggesting an alteration (if possible) in God’s plan. For further discussion see D. L.

See Ps 11:6; 75:8–9; Isa 51:17, 19, 22 for this figure.} away from me. Yet not my will but yours ^{▼▼ With the statement “Not my will but yours be done” Jesus submitted fully to God’s will.} be done.” [
