Matthew 26:42
Compare all
40 Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour?
41 aWatch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. bThe spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”  
42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father,1 if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.”  
43 And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.
44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
45 Then He came to His disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour1 is at hand, and the Son of Man is being abetrayed into the hands of sinners.  
46 Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand.”

Matthew 26:42

Matthew 26:42 He went away again the second time, and prayed. "More earnestly", says Luke, who adds the account of the bloody sweat (Luke 22:44). His agony returned on him. The continuance of the trial he accepts as God's answer to the petition, "Let this cup pass from me" (Matthew 26:39). Now he asks only, "Thy will be done".
