He asked for the chance to escape crucifixion
if Big Daddy would permit such.
So another case of divine intervention
when he indicated 'no dice' son.
Your conclusion is contradicted by the following statement by Christ, which he said to Peter after the prayer you cite; "Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?" That totally belies your assertion that his Father refused his prayer to be spared the crucifixion. In other words, the Father would answer Jesus's prayer for twelve legions of angels to destroy the Temple guards, if only Jesus were to ask it of him. But he didn't ask it. Sounds like his will was to permit the guards to take him, and to suffer all that was to follow from that. Why? Because that was his Father's will, and his will was united with that of his Father.
