Now if Jesus really wished or desired to gather all of Jerusalem how can we reconcile that His will was not the same as His Father or that His human will differed than His divine will?
We do not need to reconcile it. Gethsemane!

Does not "if it were possible" not show us Jesus was asking something, in His humanity, that there may have been another way, and if so would The Father grant such a wish? The way I look at it was that Jesus asked The Father to allow Him to atone for sin "any other way" if at all possible. Of course the will to do it any other way was a Human asking, out of His limitations of His humanity.
Now in stating such I do realize this is a very difficult section and only wish to make sure Our Lord does not have a volitional will that is divided and in doing so I believe any apparent difference is only seen from a will that is not omniscient. For to have a contradiction of wills between The Father and His sinless Son is something that I believe one should attempt to reconcile.
