Matthew 26:39-44

39Going a little farther, he threw himself down with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if possible, let this cup pass from me! Yet not what I will, but what you will.”

40Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. He said to Peter, “So, couldn’t you stay awake with me for one hour?

41Stay awake and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

42He 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.”

43He came again and found them sleeping; they could not keep their eyes open.

44So leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same thing once more.
