Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) For this thing I besought the Lord thrice.--We are reminded of our Lord's three-fold prayer in Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36; Luke 22:42-45). Was St. Paul himself reminded of it? There also the answer to the prayer was not compliance with its petition, but the gift of strength to bear and to endure.
