I came across an interesting article discussing the notorious crux
APECEI in Mk 14:41:
K.W. Mueller, ZNW 77 (1986) 83-100

He makes the interesting suggestion that APECEI is not from APECW, but
from APOCEW ("pour out"), APECEI = 3rd Sing. Imperfect.
This then is related to the previous "Father, for you all things are
possible; remove this cup from me;"
This cup is the OT cup of wrath (e.g. Jer 25:15) poured out by God at
the judgment day. The hour has come. APECEI = It's poured out!
God did not remove the cup, he poured it out.

What do you all think?

Best wishes
