He said to them, “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave the area.

What I say to you I say to everyone: Stay alert!”

Watch out! Stay alert! For you do not know when the time will come.

He said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, even to the point of death. Remain here and stay alert.”

Stay awake and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

He answered them, “You unbelieving generation! How much longer must I be with you? How much longer must I endure you? Bring him to me.”

Then they came to Capernaum. After Jesus was inside the house he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”
