Matthew 20:22
Douay-Rheims
And Jesus answering, said: You know not what you ask. Can you drink the chalice that I shall drink? They say to him: We can.
George Leo Haydock
The chalice. It is a metaphor signifying Christ’s sufferings and death. See Psalm x. 7. and lxxiv. 9. Isaias li. 17. The apostles replied, we can drink thy cup. Their answer shewed their readiness, but want of humility. (Witham)
