Matthew 26:40-43
26:40 Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. He 1 said to Peter, “So, couldn’t you stay awake with me for one hour?
26:41 Stay awake and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
26:42 He went away a second time and prayed, 2 “My Father, if this cup 3 cannot be taken away unless I drink it, your will must be done.”
26:43 He came again and found them sleeping; they could not keep their eyes open. 4
