    and bread that sustains^(E) their hearts.

New International Version

The Cup of the Lord’s Wrath

¹⁷Awake, awake!^(A)
    Rise up, Jerusalem,
you who have drunk from the hand of the Lord
    the cup^(B) of his wrath,^(C)
you who have drained to its dregs^(D)
    the goblet that makes people stagger.^(E)
¹⁸Among all the children^(F) she bore
    there was none to guide her;^(G)
among all the children she reared
    there was none to take her by the hand.^(H)
¹⁹These double calamities^(I) have come upon you—
    who can comfort you?^(J)—
ruin and destruction,^(K) famine^(L) and sword^(M)—
    who can^[a] console you?
²⁰Your children have fainted;
    they lie at every street corner,^(N)
    like antelope caught in a net.^(O)
They are filled with the wrath^(P) of the Lord,
    with the rebuke^(Q) of your God.

²¹Therefore hear this, you afflicted^(R) one,
    made drunk,^(S) but not with wine.
²²This is what your Sovereign Lord says,
    your God, who defends^(T) his people:
“See, I have taken out of your hand
    the cup^(U) that made you stagger;
from that cup, the goblet of my wrath,
    you will never drink again.
²³I will put it into the hands of your tormentors,^(V)
    who said to you,
    ‘Fall prostrate^(W) that we may walk^(X) on you.’
And you made your back like the ground,
    like a street to be walked on.”^(Y)

Matthew 26:36-46

New International Version

Gethsemane^(A)

³⁶Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” ³⁷He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee^(B) along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. ³⁸Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow^(C) to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”^(D)

³⁹Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup^(E) be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”^(F)

⁴⁰Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me^(G) for one hour?” he asked Peter. ⁴¹“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.^(H) The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

⁴²He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”^(I)

⁴³When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. ⁴⁴So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.

⁴⁵Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour^(J) has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. ⁴⁶Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”
