New Testament

Matthew 26:38-43 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

38. Then he said to them: "My soul is sorrowful, even unto death. Stay here and keep vigil with me."

39. And continuing on a little further, he fell prostrate on his face, praying and saying: "My Father, if it is possible, let this chalice pass away from me. Yet truly, let it not be as I will, but as you will."

40. And he approached his disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter: "So, were you not able to keep vigil with me for one hour?

41. Be vigilant and pray, so that you may not enter into temptation. Indeed, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

42. Again, a second time, he went and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this chalice cannot pass away, unless I drink it, let your will be done."

43. And again, he went and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
