And he went a little farther, and kneeled down, and fell on his face on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. And he said,
Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee: O my Father, if it be possible, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter,
Simon, sleepest thou? What, could ye not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
He went away the second time, and prayed, and spake the same words: saying,
O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.
And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. And he cometh the third time to his disciples, and saith unto them,
Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
