Matthew 26:39-44

39 Going a little farther,[a] 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."
40 Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping. He asked Peter, "So, couldn't you [b] stay awake with Me one hour?
41 Stay awake and pray, so that you won't enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, "My Father, if this [c] cannot pass [d] unless I drink it, Your will be done."
43 And He came again and found them sleeping, because they could not keep their eyes open.[e]
44 After leaving them, He went away again and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more.
