Allusion8
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'You have drunk... the cup of his wrath, the bowl of staggering' names the cup Jerusalem must drink, the background for the cup the Father gives Jesus to drink in the people's place. The Isaianic cup of staggering is a primary source of the metaphor, and Jesus' willing acceptance coheres with the Servant's vicarious suffering.
High confidence'let this cup pass away from me' (v39) draws on the prophetic 'cup of staggering / cup of his wrath' that Jerusalem must drink; Jesus shrinks from and then accepts the cup of divine judgment.
High confidence'The cup of his wrath... the bowl of the cup of staggering' which the nations drink — behind 'the cup of his anger' and the wine of wrath imagery. Verbal coherence.
High confidence'You who have drunk... the cup of his wrath, the bowl of staggering.' Reinforces the wrath-cup imagery applied to Babylon (16:19); verbal cup-of-wrath chain shared with Jer 25 and Rev 14:10.
High confidenceJerusalem having drunk 'the cup of his wrath... the cup of staggering' supplies the wrath-cup imagery behind Jesus' petition. Coherent with the Gethsemane cup as the suffering Jesus is asked to drink, with reasonable verbal distinctiveness ('cup').
Medium confidenceJerusalem has drunk 'the cup of his wrath... the bowl of staggering,' the cup-of-judgment imagery behind 'the cup that I drink.' Jesus takes upon himself the cup of divine wrath the city must drink. The cup as wrath to be consumed coheres with the passion's substitutionary logic.
Medium confidenceIsaiah's 'cup of his wrath,' the 'cup of staggering' that Jerusalem has drunk to the dregs, is a leading source for the cup Jesus prays to have removed. The strong prophetic-cup tradition of divine judgment-wine coheres with Jesus drinking the cup on behalf of the 'many,' reinforcing the wrath-cup reading.
Medium confidence'the cup that I am about to drink' (20:22) is the prophetic 'cup of wrath/staggering' that Jerusalem drinks (Isa 51:17,22); Jesus takes upon himself the cup of judgment, the dominant OT background for the passion-cup.
