New Testament

Mark 14:36-42 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

36. He prayed, “Abba, Father! You can do all things. Let me not have this cup of suffering. But do what you want, not what I want.”

37. Then Jesus went back to his followers. He found them asleep. He said to Peter, “Simon, why are you sleeping? You could not stay awake with me for one hour?

38. Stay awake and pray that you will not be tempted. Your spirit wants to do what is right, but your body is weak.”

39. Again Jesus went away and prayed the same thing.

40. Then he went back to the followers. Again he found them asleep because their eyes were very heavy. And they did not know what to say to Jesus.

41. After Jesus prayed a third time, he went back to his followers. He said to them, “You are still sleeping and resting? That’s enough! The time has come for the Son of Man to be given to sinful people.

42. Get up! We must go. Here comes the man who has turned against me.”
