Matthew 26:41

41 Stay alert and pray so that you won't give in to temptation. The spirit is eager, but the flesh is weak."

Matthew 26:41 In-Context

39 Then he went a short distance farther and fell on his face and prayed, "My Father, if it's possible, take this cup of suffering away from me. However—not what I want but what you want."
40 He came back to the disciples and found them sleeping. He said to Peter, "Couldn't you stay alert one hour with me?
41 Stay alert and pray so that you won't give in to temptation. The spirit is eager, but the flesh is weak."
42 A second time he went away and prayed, "My Father, if it's not possible that this cup be taken away unless I drink it, then let it be what you want."
43 Again he came and found them sleeping. Their eyes were heavy with sleep.
