Matthew 26:37-46

English Standard Version

³⁷ And taking with him ^(A)Peter and ^(B)the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled. ³⁸ Then he said to them, ^(C)“My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and ^(D)watch^[a] with me.” ³⁹ And going a little farther he fell on his face ^(E)and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let ^(F)this cup pass from me; ^(G)nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.” ⁴⁰ And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, “So, could you not watch with me one hour? ^41 (H)Watch and ^(I)pray that you ^(J)may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” ⁴² Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, ^(K)your will be done.” ⁴³ And again he came and found them sleeping, for ^(L)their eyes were heavy. ⁴⁴ So, leaving them again, he went away and prayed for ^(M)the third time, saying the same words again. ⁴⁵ Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Sleep and take your rest later on.^[b] See, ^(N)the hour is at hand, and ^(O)the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. ⁴⁶ Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.”
