39. After walking a little farther, he quickly bowed with his face to the ground and prayed, “Father, if it’s possible, let this cup ⌊of suffering⌋ be taken away from me. But let your will be done rather than mine.”
40. When he went back to the disciples, he found them asleep. He said to Peter, “Couldn’t you stay awake with me for one hour?
41. Stay awake, and pray that you won’t be tempted. You want to do what’s right, but you’re weak.”
42. Then he went away a second time and prayed, “Father, if this cup cannot be taken away unless I drink it, let your will be done.”
43. He found them asleep again because they couldn’t keep their eyes open.
44. After leaving them again, he went away and prayed the same prayer a third time.
45. Then he came back to the disciples and said to them, “You might as well sleep now. The time is near for the Son of Man to be handed over to sinners.
46. Get up! Let’s go! The one who is betraying me is near.”
