     The Cup as a Symbol.—Our Lord’s frequent mention of His foreseen sufferings as the cup of which the Father would have Him drink (Matthew 26:39, 42; Mark 14:36; Luke 22:42; John 18:11; compare Matthew 20:22; Mark 10:38; 1 Corinthians 10:21) is in line with Old Testament usage of the term “cup” as a symbolic expression for a bitter or poisonous potion typifying experiences of suffering.
