Matthew 26:39-44

³⁹Going a little farther, He fell facedown and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.”

⁴⁰Then Jesus returned to the disciples and found them sleeping. “Were you not able to keep watch with Me for one hour?” He asked Peter.

⁴¹“Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

⁴²A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.”

⁴³And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping — for their eyes were heavy.

⁴⁴So He left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.
