Discovery BoxMatthew 26:42-44 
Context26:42 He went away a second time and prayed, 1 “My Father, if this cup 2 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. 3 26:44 So leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same thing once more.
1 tn Grk “saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant here in contemporary English and has not been translated.
2 tn Grk “this”; the referent (the cup) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
3 tn Grk “because their eyes were weighed down,” an idiom for becoming extremely or excessively sleepy (L&N 23.69).
