Matthew 26:44
Prayed the third time - So St. Paul - I besought the Lord Thrice that it might depart from me, II Corinthians 12:8. This thrice repeating the same petition argues deep earnestness of soul.
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.”
