Matthew 26:39-44

New International Version

³⁹ Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup^(A) be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”^(B)

⁴⁰ Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me^(C) for one hour?” he asked Peter. ⁴¹ “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.^(D) The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

⁴² He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”^(E)

⁴³ When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. ⁴⁴ So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.
