“My Father, if possible,
let this cup
pass from me! Yet not what I will, but what you will.”
26:40 Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. He
said to Peter, “So, couldn’t you stay awake with me for one hour?
26:41 Stay awake and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
26:42 He went away a second time and prayed,
“My Father, if this cup
cannot be taken away unless I drink it, your will must be done.”
26:43 He came again and found them sleeping; they could not keep their eyes open.
