# fell on his face
He purposely lay face down on the ground to pray.
# My Father
This is an important title for God that shows the relationship between God and Jesus.
# let this cup pass from me
Jesus speaks of the work that he must do, including dying on the cross, as if it were a bitter liquid that God has commanded him to drink from a cup. The word "cup" is an important word in the New Testament, so try to use an equivalent for that in your translation.
# this cup
Jesus is asking the Father if it is possible for him not to have to experience the death and suffering that Jesus knows will soon happen.
# Yet, not as I will, but as you will
"But do not do what I want; instead, do what you want"
