⁷ In the days of his flesh, Jesus^[a] offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.^(A)

⁴¹ Then he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and prayed, ⁴² “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me, yet not my will but yours be done.”^(A) [[⁴³ Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and gave him strength.^{(B) 44} In his anguish he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.]]^[a](C)

Jesus Prays in Gethsemane

³² They went to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” ³³ He took with him Peter and James and John and began to be distressed and agitated. ³⁴ And he said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, even to death; remain here, and keep awake.”^{(A) 35} And going a little farther, he threw himself on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.^{(B) 36} He said, “Abba,^[a] Father, for you all things are possible; remove this cup from me, yet not what I want but what you want.”^{(C) 37} He came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not keep awake one hour? ³⁸ Keep awake and pray that you may not come into the time of trial;^[b] the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”^{(D) 39} And again he went away and prayed, saying the same words.

Jesus Prays for His Disciples

17 After Jesus had spoken these words, he looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you,^(A)

⁴ I glorified you on earth by finishing the work that you gave me to do.^{(A) 5} So now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had in your presence before the world existed.^(B)
