Calix
A calix is a cup; chalice.
While praying in Gethsemane, Jesus prayed that that God would allow the calix to pass from him if it be His will. (Matthew 26:39; Mark 14:36; Luke 22:42) In the Old Testament, the cup is used as a metaphor for the judgment of God with its contents representing the wrath of God against the wicked. (Jeremiah 25:15; Isaiah 51:17; Psalm75:8).
And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will." (Matthew 26:39, NASB)
