The cup is figurative. Imagine that you do something wrong and you have to drink this cup of iniquity (let's say . . . poisin). We, as sinful human beings were supposed to drink it. Jesus was to bear that penalty by drinking that cup for the whole wordl, past present future. But Jesus was still human. He was just asking God if there could be another way, but there wasn't and so He drank it by dieing on the cross.
