Compare all
38 Then He said to them, a“My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.”  
39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and aprayed, saying, b“O My Father, if it is possible, clet this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, dnot as I will, but as You will.”  
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.”
