What does the phrase “the will of the Father” mean in this verse?

Thomas R. Valletta

“To the Sinless One himself, a being of infinite goodness and perfect sensitivity, Gethsemane was the ultimate torture, the darkest hour, the starkest terror. His most extreme distress had little to do with the thought of physical death, even the hideous kind of death brought on by crucifixion. … The will of the Father was that the bitter cup be swallowed—drained to its dregs. And drained it was, swallowed to the last drop by Christ (Mosiah 15:7)” (Skinner, Gethsemane, 17).
